Radio encryption in Grand County
Grand County's two logged records both sit on the State of Colorado DTRS. A Grand County Interop entry is verified as fully encrypted using P25 ADP, while the Grand County Sheriff's Office record, listed as fully encrypted with P25 AES, is unverified. The talkgroup data points the other way: all 11 monitored talkgroups are logged in the clear with none encrypted. That is a direct contradiction with the agency listings and it is not resolvable from this record. If you are deciding whether a DTRS-capable scanner is worth it here, check the live Grand County talkgroup listing on RadioReference rather than relying on either figure alone.
