PRO-2055 - What mode do I use for PL Tones and NAC tones?

[26000]

I have a PRO-2055 scanner that I'm trying to program..

A few frequencies (according to this site) have tones such as "466 NAC" or "162.2 PL"

What mode (AM/FM/EDACS/LTR/CTCSS/DCS) do I use?

 

[26000]

I found that for PL to use the CTCSS mode.. but what about the 466NAC? What mode for that

 

[KE5BCP]

NACs are for newer model digital scanners.

Ok, so my model doesn't have it?

Should I just leave it at FM?

You can leave it in FM if you want, but you won't hear anything.

Since no one apparently wants to share with you what the heck the "NAC" thing means, I will. NAC is the digital equivalent of PL, and is used to receive digital P25 transmissions. Just so you know, in the FM area two kinds of selective coding are used, PL (which is an actual audio tone at a low level), and DCS/DPL (which is a digital tone, so to speak). When you get your scanner that can receive P25 you can use either F7E or 293 as "catchall" NAC designators if you don't know the actual NAC for a channel. The equipment manual for the radio will probably discuss these things in some detail for you.

If you're willing to tinker a bit and take your radio apart and add a discriminator tap you could try http://forums.radioreference.com/tr...ing/189035-dsd-1-4-mbelib-1-2-3-released.html on a linux machine if there is digital in your area.
