Radio encryption in Independence County
Independence County uses older and less uniform encryption than most records in this set. The Batesville Police Department is listed with analog voice inversion applied to all monitored channels, and the Southside Volunteer Fire Department uses NXDN scrambling on tactical channels only. Both records are verified against RadioReference, with none unverified. Of 15 monitored talkgroups on the Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN), 13 remain in the clear and only two are encrypted, so a scanner still receives most of the documented traffic in the county.
