Programming your NXDN Radio

[Paul Toth-NB9X]

Unlike many analog only repeaters that do not transmit a CTCSS tone, most MXDN repeaters in West Central Florida utilize full CTCSS Squelch (analog) and full TX and RX RAN squelch in NXDN Digital mode.  Using full squelch enables you to be selective about which signal open the squelch on your radio.

 

All NI4CE repeaters worj with RAN "1" on both transmit and receive.  This includes 444.425 at Riverview, a dedicated NXDN-only repeater.  Now, you you want to remain LOCAL using this repeater, use Talkgroup 1200.  To communicate on the NXDN Worldwide link, sdet your memory channel's Talkgroup to 65000.  Now if you set your memorry channel's Squelch setting to RAN, you will hear all transmissions, as long as RAN 1 is being used.  If you set the Digital SQL setting to SEL (Selective), transmission must match both the RAN and the TG values you have programmed in that memory channel.

 

The NI4CE repeaters at Verna (442.950), Holiday (443.450) and Bartow (442.825) support hoh analog transmissions (CTCSS 100.0 Hz) and NXDN Digital transmissions (RAN-1).  If your radio supports MIXED mode channels, we recommend programming your Analog memory channel as MIXED-Analog and your Digital memory channel as MIXED-Digital.  This way, you will always here transmissions in either mode.  Always use full CTCSS and full TX/RX RAN for these channels.  We recommend using TG1200 for digital transmissions.

 

If your NXDN radio supports Analog only and Digital only operating modes, you may also want to set the LOCKOUT field to BUSY on your Digital channels.  That will prevent you from accidentally transmiting in digital mode when the repeater is busy in analog mode.

 

If you have any programming questions, please feel free to post them here on the NI4CE-NXDN reflector.

You have a typo in the first line "MXDN"

Also in the first line of the third paragraph. what is "hoh analog transmissions"?

Otherwise, very nice.

The typo in the third graph would have been "both".
