Radio encryption in Sussex County
Sussex County's three records are all verified against RadioReference: the Bridgeville, Greenwood and Rehoboth Beach police departments, each encrypting every monitored channel with P25 AES-256 on the State of Delaware P25 system. The talkgroup picture is more open than the agency list suggests - of five catalogued talkgroups, four remain in the clear and one is encrypted. That gap matters for anyone weighing a scanner: the three named municipal departments are closed, but most of what this record catalogues at the talkgroup level is still receivable.
