Radio encryption in Union County
Two records exist for Union County and they use different technology. The Munroe Police Department is logged on P25 AES-256, encrypting everything monitored, and that record is verified against RadioReference data; the Union County School District is recorded on DMR Enhanced Privacy, also full-scope, and that record is unverified. Three systems appear in the county: North Carolina VIPER, Charlotte UASI, and FleetTalk Carolinas. Of 44 catalogued talkgroups, 15 are encrypted and 28 remain in the clear, so a scanner still receives well over half of the monitored channel list.
