Currently working on doing a minor but major NXCore update to the network. Bare with us as we get this worked up and ready for production use. Several advancements will be forthcoming as we migrate from the old version of NXCore to the new one.
The ability to have tg crossing from DMR to NXDN or NXDN to DMR will be one such feature that will allow areas with both modes running to unify into a common talk grouping.

Good evening all, NXCore has taking on a new life and will be rolling out forthcoming.
Thanks to those past and present who started this off, and now the next level of NXDN Ham Radio is making it’s move forward with some new features and skill sets. More information on the new release of the NXCore files will be announced when it is finished with the BETA version (Now nearing V 13.0.0.1)
As I get back into the NXDN buildout, I want to give a special thanks to NI4CE Group, Inc. and to the next developer who came on board, Tom Chance, K9XV of Florida.
We will occasionally hear from him here on the website from time to time.

Like to report I have added the first full-time NXDN repeater to SWMO.
444.025 RAN 1
26000 GID = MO Wide
Local GID 1
Interim full time connection to the Florida NXCore, GID 1200 (FL WIDE) will be established to help generate traffic and use.
Repeater Site hosted with the help of NIXAHAMS.NET
Please enjoy!

Like to make a note real quick, Talk Group 1200 (FLORIDA WIDE) is for Florida and not really a World Wide talkgroup. 65000 was meant for wide area contacts and short comms.
If you need a local area or regional talkgroup, and do not have one established, contact me to arrange having a TG reflector set up for your area. kd4efm1@gmail.com
Gen 2 NXCore will soon be branching to support regional coverage. That will be forthcoming!
Greetings all,
Here is a quick run up of what is in the pressure cooker….
NXREF UPDATES TO ROLL OUT IN THE COMING MONTHS.
A & B; A Bug Fix for the Kenwood side of the NXREF. One is with the turn on / turn off messages, and the other is dealing with the heartbeat for the UDP ports, since KWD uses 2 UDP ports.
New Features: Talk Group Linking and Authentication, a simple Public PKM style (something like IRLP) to add security to the NXDN Network. If the access code does not match, no link will be established.
Talk Group Linking; this will allow for Local, Regional, State, or even Area Wide uses.
Florida uses TG 1200 for Florida Wide, and Tampa is using 1201 for West Central Florida. As an example.
If you have not become a member of the HAM_NXDN email group, this is a Yahoo group located at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham_nxdn/
This is open to ALL HAMS World Wide, and talks about the use of NXDN Radios for the advancement of Ham Radio, and 6.25 Digital Technology.
That is it for now.
