Radio encryption in Dekalb County
DeKalb County's record is small and entirely unverified. Neither of its two entries, a county corrections listing and a township police listing, has been confirmed against RadioReference system data. Both are recorded as encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256 on the DeKalb County Public Safety system, and both of the two catalogued talkgroups are encrypted, leaving nothing in the clear. That is a very thin basis for any conclusion; anyone considering a scanner here should check the DeKalb County Public Safety system page on RadioReference directly.
