So i was listening to a NXDN system in Northern California (under name Stephen Pass). 461.6125. When scanner stopped on transmission (I'm still monitoring these digital as conventional for now with everything set to search), where the "Color code" or "RAN #" usually shows on the BCD536HP screen, the word "Area0" was showing. Anyone know what this means?
"Area0" on 536HP screen where Color code goes?

Area(0 or 1) is associated with NXDN IDAS systems like RAN is associated with NXDN NEXEDGE systems.

That's odd, as IDAS can use RAN codes:
IDAS Digital Land Mobile Radio System - Features - Icom America
Is it either/or, or can IDAS use both RAN and area?

All I know is when you receive sites on these systems with DSD+ 1.101

all you see is area code and no RAN. I don't know if that means there is no RAN used or if it just isn't displayed.

Hello,
There tends to be confusion as Icom uses IDAS for their NXDN offerings like Kenwood uses NEXEDGE.
There are two types of trunking systems, called Type-C and Type-D. Originally Kenwood only offered Type-C and Icom only offered Type-D. Some newer radios can do both.
Type-C uses a dedicated control channel and what is labelled RAN is really the site id modulus 64.

Type-D uses a distributed control channel and area bit (0 or 1) like LTR.
