Be advised that Gadsen city and Etowa County are in process of switching to a digital P25 system. Gadsden / Etowah County Public Safety Trunking System, Gadsden, Alabama - Scanner Frequencies Once the switch is complete, you will need a digital trunking scanner to receive the system, not analog. I'm not from that part of Alabama so I don't know what agencies will be or are encrypted.

are they switching again ????? they just switched a couple of years ago.and to answer that question the answer is no. because they use full encryption .

No they are not switching again. Everything is encrypted except for the etowah county vfd and hear network which is patched into the system.
