Radio encryption in Nantucket County
Nantucket's one record is the Nantucket Police, encrypting all monitored channels with P25 DES-OFB, and it is verified against RadioReference. Two systems appear here, Nantucket Municipal and Massachusetts State Police. Of the three talkgroups tracked for the county, one is encrypted and two remain in the clear. So a scanner will still receive some of the monitored traffic on the island, but not the police department's own channels as recorded.
