Radio encryption in Drew County
Drew County's two records, the Drew County Sheriff's Office and the Monticello Police Department, are both listed as encrypting all monitored channels using DMR Enhanced Privacy, with the Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN) as the associated system. The sheriff's record is confirmed against RadioReference; the Monticello Police entry is unverified. Only one talkgroup is tracked for the county and it is in the clear. That is far too little data to say what a scanner would receive in Drew County, and RadioReference should be checked directly.
