Radio encryption in Hart County
Hart County's two records both sit on the Hart County GA Public Safety system and both use DMR Enhanced Privacy, an unusual pairing in this dataset. Hart County EMS is listed as encrypting all monitored channels and is confirmed against RadioReference; the Hart County Sheriff's Office is listed the same way but that record is unverified. Four talkgroups are tracked for the county, of which one is encrypted and two are in the clear. That is a small enough sample that the live RadioReference listing should decide the question for anyone considering a scanner here.
