According to »wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/NEXEDGE it says "No scanner can monitor this digital format by itself but it can be monitored with DSD". DSD is referenced at »wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DSD along with the list of known hardware you also need - »wiki.radioreference.com/index.ph···e_Setups . You didn't mention which scanner you have.

I'm not a scanner guru, so some of the folks that here who are might have additional insight.

Looks interesting.
It's a software package that decodes the output of a discriminator tap you add to your scanner.
Very similar to decoding PSK or RTTY using your soundcard.

DSD has recently been ported to windows, until very recently, it was a linux only application.

Another option is to find a kenwood dealer and obtain an NXDN radio.

FWIW, the audio quality on NXDN is superior to that of P25 in my opinion. NXDN is gaining popularity, and it likely wont be long before scanners start coming out with the ability to decode them.

Where I work, they have been deploying tens of thousands of NXDN radios, and other similar copanies have been doing the same thing.
