NPSPAC Frequencies
Hello folks,
What does NPSPAC stand for?.... and why/when are NPSPAC frequencies used? I've run across that term in a few posts and have the impression that these are interstate/intrastate interoperability frequencies which can be used by different law agencies using 800-MHz radios.
Questions:
1. If my impression is true, then I am thinking that different agencies with 800-MHz radios using different trunk systems (e.g., EDACs/Motorola Smartnet... like Las Cruces and El Paso) can talk with each other using these NPSPAC frequencies on simplex conventional scan. That makes sense to me. Is this true?
2. Are these frequencies (whatever they are) a nationwide set for all states?... or do adjacent states have their own set?
3. What are these frequencies? for NM/TX/maybe AZ (I live in Las Cruces)
I know a police officer here who is a beginning scanner buff (who wants to listen to "police calls" when he retires, haha) who told me that there are two "channels" on his EDACs radio that he thinks are encrypted (has to be ProVoice if he is right). But I can't even pick up his carrier (when I conventional-scanned their trunk frequencies) when he is talking to another officer on that channel. Could that be that he is talking simplex, conventional scan in this case, merely by switching his GE handheld from an EDACs trunk channel to a simplex conventional-scan NPSPAC frequency that is not one of the EDACs trunk frequencies they use?
Always anxious to add something new to my scanners.
Thank you.

NPSPAC was the National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee.
It developed the band plan for the 866-869/821-824 MHz public safety band back about 25 years ago or more. It no longer exists.
Check out the interop wiki page: Common Public Safety - The RadioReference Wiki
In the database most states have a Common/Shared listing on the main state page. These are usually the interop channels for the state. The ones for TX & NM are:
Texas: Common/Shared Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
New Mexico: Common/Shared Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Texas Common/Shared wiki page has some good links: Common/Shared (TX) - The RadioReference Wiki
I can't help you any more with NM. I Used to listen to LC stuff when I lived in El Paso about 30 years ago but I haven't been back there since. I have also been to Hatch and I think I ate chili there once.

Would be nice to find a document for NM comparable to this
http://region39.org/Region 39 NPSPAC Plan Rev 5_4-8-09.pdf
Check out pages 35 and on in the document. Scanner's hog-heaven (if you lived in TN)
Maybe anybody who knows this guy can ask him about the NM docket. I am too chicken.
