416.8375/407.8375 nac 032 is new in my area unknown agency have heard some plates being run any thought to who it might be?

416 would be the input, so the Repeater is 407.8375

Are you hearing all of the transmission or part of them ?
if Part, then look for the Control channel for a TRS

I'm guessing the VA has finally turned on a UHF Trunk

I am hearing both sides same nac and I am in small town Springfield mo I would not think the va would set up a whole trunk just for one facility location these are the only 2 frequencies in the federal uhf band that show this nac

It might not be trunked. Search 406-420 in 12.5 kHz steps and see if you hear a control channel.

A few of the recent FBO.gov were for TRS systems, which was my original thought.

Checking the VA Web site, there are 3 possibilities for Springfield MO

Gene Taylor Veterans' Outpatient Clinic - Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks
altho most Outpatient Clinics I've seen are simplex, if more than one Officer on-duty, otherwise it is Phone

Springfield, MO Vet Center - Locations
VET Centers, generally get a visit from time-time from the area VA Police, but nothing much for Full-time RF

Springfield National Cemetery - National Cemetery Administration
Here in Mass out National Cemetary went DMR

Then again, I am only going with VA based on 95% of my entries for that Repeater pair are VA

It might not be trunked. Search 406-420 in 12.5 kHz steps and see if you hear a control channel.

We have a new va facility on the south end of town, the only other one is at least 20miles in mount Vernon mo I am sure would not be hearing them on uhf, and I search the federal band 24 7 and no indication of a control channel

UHF can and does carry, 20 mi is nothing, depending on topography/terrain

You might try a road trip to the VA facility, sit in the parking lot and when they talk take the antenna off, see if you still hear them
