-Apart from using an actual Kenwood radio, the following methods are possible;
-* The Whistler [[TRX-1]] and [[TRX-2]] with the NXDN upgrade can decode this mode. However, they will not trunk NXDN systems. Program trunked systems as conventional objects. See the [http://forums.radioreference.com/whistler-scanners/344818-how-improve-nxdn-scanning.html How to improve NXDN Scanning thread] and the {{Thread|whistler-scanners|344494-nxdn-update-now-available.html|NXDN Update Now Available}}
-* The [http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/6369.html AOR DV-1] decodes NEXEDGE voice (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 output|Discriminator Tap]]. You can also use a [[Software Defined Radios|SDR]] with these applications without the need for modifications.
