Radio encryption in Marion County
Marion County is one of the few records here that does not involve digital encryption. The single logged agency, the Columbia Police Department, is verified as using Analog Voice Inversion across all its channels — not P25 or DMR encryption — alongside the Mississippi Wireless Information Network (MSWIN). Of 25 monitored talkgroups in the county, 22 are logged in the clear and 3 are encrypted. Most monitored traffic therefore remains receivable, though the Columbia Police channels covered by voice inversion are not intelligible on a standard scanner.
