System Information

The Nebraska Wireless Interoperable Network (N-WIN), also known as Nebraska SRS, is a statewide VHF P25 Smartzone IP based trunking radio system. N-WIN is a partnership and an Executive Order with the State of Nebraska and Nebraska Public Power District, whom NPPD provides technical support and tower space.

There are over 45 towers across Nebraska providing seamless coverage across the State of Nebraska. More towers are proposed in the future.

Status on the Nebraska SRS:

All NSP/NPPD/NFM districts are currently online full-time and using the SRS.

  • Troop HQ still use low band. Only some units use the new system

Nebraska Dept of Roads, Corrections and Game/Parks: Radios have been purchased and installation is currently in progress. New talkgroups and testing has been reported in the NSP Troop C area.


Programming the system

Monitoring NWIN is easy, and even fun to listen to. Occasionally you may hear other NSP/NPPD radios affiliate to your favorite tower from different troop/service areas, bringing traffic from those areas! Only drawback is a NWIN radio has to be affiliating to the tower you are monitoring to hear any radio traffic.

To program this system into your scanner you will need a scanner that will do P25 trunking system, 9600 baud control channel.

  • Uniden BC396XT, BC996XT, Radio Shack Pro 106 and 197 and GRE PSR 500 and PSR 600 scanners program the system as a P25 trunking system. Then program the control channels into your scanner.
  • Uniden 996T and 396T program the system as a Motorola type 2/P25. Under the site select APCO25. Then program the control channel, no band plan needed.
  • Uniden 296, 796 and RadioShack Pro96, you will need to program the scanner as a Motorola VHF trunking system. Program the frequencies and you will need a bandplan.

Set your scanner for no delay on the system as NSP jumps from talk group to talk group.
