3 public safety agencies in Bexar County, Texas have encrypted their radio communications.
Radio encryption in Bexar County
Bexar County is represented by one record, an unverified Schertz Township Police entry listed as encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256. The only system attached is the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) P25 network. All 10 catalogued talkgroups are encrypted and none are in the clear. Both the single unverified agency and the narrow talkgroup set mean this is not a description of the county as a whole. Anyone assessing scanner coverage for Bexar County should go to RadioReference for the full system and talkgroup listings rather than drawing conclusions from these figures.
