Anderson County's single record is the Anderson County Sheriff's Office on Palmetto 800, encrypting specific channels rather than its whole output, using P25 AES-256. The entry is verified against RadioReference. None of the seven talkgroups tracked for the county is flagged as encrypted and three are recorded as in the clear.
