Careful what you wish for!  If the NAC was an option with the radio capab=
le

of receiving anything P25 (with or without a tone used and regardless on =

NAC) then it would be great.  If they limit you to choosing the correct N=
AC

then it makes things worst than they are now.  Uniden are you listening?

Agreed! I would just like the ability to apply a NAC to a channel as an
option, just like a PL or DPL tone. Of course, having the scanner able to=

"read" a NAC off a digital channel would be great, too!

Also, Jim mentioned that the Butel software offered a "Resume scan on
encrypted digital" option. Is that a feature of the software or the
BC-796D? I personally would like to have the option of at least muting th=
e
encrypted P-25 transmissions, but still want to have some indication that=

someone is using the frequency, even it encrypted (traffic analysis!).
