Oconee Co. Sherriff...

...couldn't find it here. Have they made the move to another system? I could only copy FD in that county this past holiday weekend. If they have made it official, then I am officially out of the scanning game, as far as the local Sherriff goes. I can still copy ACCPD on the conventional trunk. I do not plan on buying any digital equipment any time soon.

A digital scanner wouldn't help anyway as they are now encrypted:

Oconee Areawide Radio System

I knew I had seen all this somewhere, and I could not find it right away. If there was a faster way, I didn't know how to do it. I have been in a different industry for the past couple of years, and haven't had a lot of time to play around with this site. Thank you again.

Dont worry, they still record everything and you can submit an open records request and get a copy of any audio you want and then post it on here. A delay of about 45 days...but we can still listen to Oconee Co!!!

In my mind, this is not a solution!

Is crime really that bad in Oconee Co. that law enforcement has to encrypt ALL the time?

Haha, no. They are a small mostly rural sheriff's office with a low call volume. They typically run 4 deputies on a shift to cover the whole county.

The Western Judicial Curcuit Drug Task force which covers Clarke and Oconee was already using encrypted mobile to mobile and mostly Nextels so no issue there.

Guess I'm a little over-sensitive since this was what I primarily listened to back in the good old days.
