Voice
The other frequencies the site uses for calls. A trunking scanner follows them automatically once it has the control channel.

A group of sites run by the same controller. Large Project 25 systems can have several.
NAC (Network Access Code)
A hex code the site transmits. Your scanner can use it to ignore other systems on the same frequency.
