GSP along I-95

[BigLebowski]

So I made a quick drive down to FL and back this weekend, passing through the 100ish miles of Georgia on I-95.

I traditionally have not spent much time in GA and I know little about GSP's operations other than that they are on VHF P25 and encrypted on trunked systems when available. I understand that they are encrypted on the SEGARRN regional system around Savannah.

I heard them exactly 1 time going south (on VHF GSP Rincon) in Savannah, and not at all coming back north. I expected to not hear anything around Savannah, but I figured I would have coming back north today especially with the big Verizon outage affecting most of the state. Is it really that dead for them?

GSP is in the clear in Savannah, I listen to them daily. Only Savannah PD and Chatham county PD are encrypted and oddly enough GSP does not have access to TX on their channels, all Savannah and Chatham units have to stay on GSPs dispatch channel to talk from what I have heard from several officers. I'm sure they have the ability to use E but they don't or have separate channels not tagged or known.
