Radio encryption in Montgomery County
Montgomery County's record lists five municipal entries rather than named departments - the cities of Conroe, Montgomery, Willis, Shenandoah and Patton Village - each encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256. Only the Conroe and Montgomery records are verified against RadioReference; the other three are unverified. Two trunked systems cover the county, a Montgomery County P25 system and the Texas Wide Area Radio Network (TxWARN), with eight talkgroups catalogued between them: five encrypted and three still in the clear. Because these records are filed at city level, the dataset does not break out which police, fire or EMS functions sit behind each entry, so those three clear talkgroups are the practical limit of what this record establishes as monitorable.
