Radio encryption in Rockbridge County
Nothing monitored in Rockbridge County remains in the clear: all 11 catalogued talkgroups are encrypted. The Rockbridge County Sheriff's Office is verified as encrypting all channels with P25 AES-256, and unverified records list Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University doing the same. A single system, Rockbridge, is recorded for the county. For a prospective scanner buyer that is a straightforward answer, since on the monitored talkgroups in this dataset there is nothing left to hear. With two of the three records unverified and only one system on file, though, it is worth confirming against RadioReference before concluding the county is entirely closed.
