Like all others said every county you mentioned is 100% encrypted and there's nothing that radio can do for you, unfortunately. Oconee (Seems a select amount of talkgroups are unencrypted such as PW so you can use your radio to listen to that similar to Jackson.) Clarke also has mostly encrypted talkgroups besides some UGA stuff and Public Works and utilities but Barrow is 100% encrypted nothing can be heard on their system.
Nope, the WS1065 won't do DMR. These scanners will, although paid upgrades are required for most. Also Whistler scanners cannot trunktrack DMR systems. Whistler never bought the licenses, which is why the upgrades are free. The best these scanners can do is to decode the audio. This may be sufficient on systems that aren't too busy, but for busier systems, this is a serious limitation.
Not to mention it’s also definitely not within scanner range of Barrow County at nearly 80 miles away….

You may be out of range, or using wrong frequencies then.
Sorry for the delayed response; I don't check this often. To clarify, I was attempting to monitor the 700MHz control channel(s) and was in the parking lot of BCFD station 1. I found it odd, I don't have access to Unitrunker or anything like that when I'm away from home.
