Freescan: Entering NAC's

[Blackink]

I was wondering, when programming my Uniden digital scanner using FreeSCAN, and the Tone is an NAC Digital tone, do I have to enter the 3 digit NAC# under the column labeled Tone (like DCS 223), AND enter the 3 digit NAC#: 223 under the column labeled NAC? Or can I just enter the NAC # 223 under the NAC column and select NONE under the Tone column?
Thanks, Steve

You can't enter a NAC in the tone column. You have to select from the drop down. Enter the NAC in the NAC column and it will work.

I agree with entering the NAC# in the NAC column.
I guess what I need to know, is what should the Tone column be set at? None?

Correct, Tone would be for an analog channel and NAC would be for a digital channel.
So if your monitoring a dual mode channel, enter both, if your monitoring digital, enter NAC.

I think if you enter a NAC, the tone column will gray out anyway. Doesn't let you have two different tones because is not possible
