Talkgroups not being used

[apg154]

Any idea why talkgroups are available for use but not currently used by my county? Lawrence County Indiana. Not able to pick up any traffic off of the control tower for Lawrence County, however picking up surrounding counties.

Many statewide systems incorporate talkgroups for each county. Not all counties go on the state system. Looking at database it appears that county has its own NXDN system for public safety as well.

Thanks for your reply - if the county has its own NXDN system then really no way to listen to them?

Uniden SDS series radios can be upgraded with a NXDN capability.

TRX Scanners have NXDN built in also

So using the SDR Truck software should work with the dongle?

Ehh...I get the feeling that's not an NXDN radio "system" per se, it looks more like NXDN Conventional repeater channels. I think the DB is wrong.

It trunked not "Truck", but yes many of the SDR software packages will work as well.

Yup - looks like it is licensed as Conventional not Trunked.

There is usually radio communication with Monroe and Lawrence County, but it’s typically from EMS or the police department. You might also find information about local businesses on frequencies like 467.850 and 467.975, and sometimes at the big stores. But sadly they took away they took away the radio coverage from their main fire dispatch.
