Radio encryption in Iredell County
Iredell County's record covers the Iredell County Sheriff's Office and the Mooresville Police Department, both encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256, and both verified against RadioReference. They appear across two systems, North Carolina VIPER and Charlotte UASI. The wider talkgroup picture is still largely open, with 33 of 50 tracked talkgroups in the clear against 16 encrypted, so a scanner in Iredell County will receive a substantial amount of traffic overall, just not from the sheriff or Mooresville police. Check which VIPER talkgroups cover the area you care about before buying.
