Radio encryption in Elmore County
Nothing monitored in Elmore County is receivable: all 18 catalogued talkgroups are encrypted and none remain in the clear. All four tracked agencies encrypt every channel with P25 AES-256, the Elmore County Sheriff plus the Coosada, Eclectic and Wetumpka police departments, and all of it rides on the Alabama Interoperable Radio System (AIRS). Only the Coosada record is verified against RadioReference; the other three are unverified.
