Radio encryption in Lee County
Both agencies tracked in Lee County are verified against RadioReference, and they encrypt differently: Cape Coral Police uses P25 ADP on all monitored channels, while the Lee County Sheriff's Office uses P25 AES-256 on dispatch. Across the Lee County Public Safety P25 system and an Industrial Communications and Electronics system, 32 of 37 catalogued talkgroups remain in the clear with 5 encrypted, so a scanner still receives most of what is listed here even though sheriff's dispatch and Cape Coral police are not part of it.
