How to determine what the NAC is

[Sierra1500]

If looking for NAC but it is not displayed in the RR, how do you determine what the NAC would be for the specific site?
Also, how do you determine what HEX is being used?

I'm trying to program it manually using a Unication pager programming through voice not a full trunk system.

If I get time today I'll try this on my G5.... Doesn't Unication have a wildcard for NAC? $7FE or whatever is commonly used.... Thought I saw that somewhere. I know they have talkgroup wildcards etc.

F7E is the wildcard NAC for most other devices.

That's what I get for answering on a Monday morning.

Yes, F7E, not 7FE.

DSD will pull the NAC too. Also several scanners will display the NAC if you program the freq as P25.

So... I've programmed up my G5 with my local tower. Added a handful of talkgroups as P25 conventional. If I sit on an individual voice channel it works fine, however I've programmed one knob position as Normal Scan, added in all the voice channels... and nothing. Dead silent on that setting. I tried Silent Scan as well, same result. So I'm 90% the way there but not quite sure what I'm missing...

Is that possible to listen to a specific talkgroup on P25 conventional on the voice channel without hearing other traffic on the freq.

Depends on what your using for a receiver. A radio certainly can be setup to listen for just 1 TG. If you have a Uniden scanner try this. Set up a MOT trunked system, put the single channel in as the control channel, set up one department and set up just the 1 TG in it. You may also have to match the NAC in the department entry.
