Who are the Users?
- Click on the NDXN and NEXEDGE Business Systems links at the bottom of this page, and select the various regions to see if there are listings in this wiki. More information might be found in the trunking tab of your state in the RR Database; however, the RRDB currently does not fully support NXDN listings.
- You can use the Digital Frequency Search webtool to extract NXDN information from the FCC database
- The Digital Frequency Quick Import webtool can also be used.
Can it be Decoded?
Apart from using an actual Kenwood radio, the following methods are possible;
- The Whistler TRX-1 and TRX-2 with the NXDN upgrade can copy this mode.
- The AOR DV-1 copies NEXEDGE (no trunking, however)
- Use either Digital Speech Decoder (software package) or DSDPlus software, along with a scanner which, in many cases, will require a Discriminator Tap. You can also use a SDR with these applications without the need for modifications.
