Was reading the news on lehighvalleylive.com today and stumbled upon this. Warren County is adding a encrypted channel for "sensitive situations". My question is they do not operate on a trunked or digital system. Is that even possible with such a system?

As far as I remember, the info that nosoup4u posted a while back (link to an official Warren County Communications PDF), it's an ASTRO simplex VHF channel (all radios recently bought by the county were XTS/XTL 2500's).

yes its just a simplex channel for tactical ops. its P25 and it may be encrypted but wont really know until and incident arises that they use it and the digital scanner says its encrypted and cant hear it.
