Radio encryption in Sumter County
Sumter County is thinly documented. A single talkgroup is catalogued on the Sumter County Public Safety System and it is encrypted, leaving nothing monitored in the clear. Three agencies are tracked, all logged as encrypting everything with P25 AES-256: Sumter County Fire, whose record is verified against RadioReference data, plus the Sumter County Sheriff and the Villages Community Development District, both of which are unverified. Given how little is catalogued here, check RadioReference for the live picture before deciding a scanner is worth buying.
