Radio encryption in Anderson County
Anderson County's two cataloged agencies both run P25 ADP on the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN), and both records are verified. Anderson County EMS encrypts all monitored channels, while the Anderson County Sheriff's Office is only partially encrypted, so some of its traffic is documented as receivable. The TACN catalog associated with the county is large and mostly open: 239 of 273 talkgroups are clear against 33 encrypted. On this record a scanner still has substantial coverage in Anderson County, with EMS the clearest gap and sheriff's communications split between open and encrypted channels.
