Help programming my 396T

[W5TWX]

"A2 is 155.4675 in APCO P25 digital (IMBE) with a 118 NAC on a conventional (non-trunked) repeater"

Can sombody explain what the 118 NAC means in the above statement?

I AM TRYING TO PROGRAM THIS SYSTEM INTO MY 396T.

DPS Austin

Frequency Input License Type Tone Alpha Tag Description Mode Tag
155.46750 154.68750 KKD303 RM 118 NAC BASE A2 Austin Main - Dispatch APCO-25
155.46000 154.68000 KKD303 BM 114 NAC BASE A1 Austin South - Future Dispatch APCO-25

It is meaningless to you because the 396 does not support NAC.
NAC = Network Access Code.

So does this mean that I can't program this system or does this mean I don't need to be concerned about a NAC?

It means yiu don't need to concern yourself about the NAC.

Thanks

My next question is this.
Since there are no control channels, do I just program the above frequencies into a P25 system on my scanner or is there a special way that I need to program it?

Program as a conventional, and make sure you leave Ctcss search off, otherwise the digital won't decode. You'll receive it fine, you might see lnk on the bottom, and then p25 and the audio will come through.

And try this link, FCC lists other frequencies with those.

It woyld be helpful to know the exact system, it looks to be a conventional frequency using APCO-25 digital if that is the case then it simply gets programmed as conventional FM the digital voice will decode as long as no PL is set.

This is the system. I'm only interested in the Austin portion.

Here's a file attached, UASD format
You'll need a GRE to decode NAC, something Uniden is lagging behind in...

Looking back, I might have missed one frequency, but this file will get you started.
