Radio encryption in Potter County
In Potter County the only record is the City of Amarillo on the Amarillo Radio Communications System (ARCS), listed as encrypting part of its traffic with P25 ADP. The entry is verified against RadioReference. All three of the talkgroups tracked for the county are in the clear and none is flagged as encrypted, which is consistent with encryption being partial rather than blanket here. A scanner should therefore still receive some Amarillo activity, though with one agency record on file the live ARCS talkgroup listing is the source worth checking before buying.
