I do I still not hear anything on them
They are used, but it's very rare. I heard a short transmission on one of them over the weekend (8tac94 I think). I've heard them being used with ISP escorting super loads (coordinating lane & intersection closures). I think the neighboring county (dearborn) uses one of the npspac channels occasionally to talk to air care. Also as a simplex fireground channel a couple of times.
Keep in mind, these have a pretty short range. Especially if they are going direct and not through one of the repeaters.

8CALL being the national hailing channel on 800MHz, it is typically monitored by Law Enforcement and PSAPs. THough not for EXCLUSIVE use, a majority of control and traffic is handled by LEO. At least in my area.
Also, is it 8CALL90 or 8CALL90D?
8CALL90 is the repeated version, 8CALL90D is the Direct, a/k/a talkaround a/k/a simplex version. From a scanner programming perspective, it is the same: The repeater output frequency on 8CALL90 is the same as the frequency for 8CALL90D.
Also, while the OP was asking about a specific state where they may be synonymous, I'll just make a note here to clarify for others reading this thread. NPSPAC refers to the entire 851-854 (if rebanded) or 866-869 (if not rebanded) range of channels, NOT just the 5 800 MHz national interop channels.

They are used quite commonly in my part of the state, always in direct mode. Mostly for EMS to Air EMS traffic. INDOT also uses them for traffic control.
Also, I'd program the 700 MHz channels. I've heard they are in use in some areas as well.

They really arent to be used for day-to-day traffic. But whatever. Hope it cleared things up for you.

where I can find these frequency

The NPSPAC are being replaced in the radios by 8TAC, part of rebanding. In the link above, the 800 MHz listing are the 8TAC. Many counties and state radios have already gone through the second touch of rebanding, which is taking out the old frequencies and deleting the NPSPAC Zone

what frequency for montgmery county
While they can use any of the NPSPAC freqs in your area in direct mode, the map below will show you what npspac repeaters are in your area. If you check out the link above from nd5y, you can see what the rebanded 800mhz npspac channels/frequencies are.
