In my area, there are numerous T/G's that are classified as Digital Encryption (DE in the DB).
Many software programs will ignore them on download if the user chooses.
However, many of the T/G's in my area use only partial encryption where dispatch is in the clear and only the cars / portables are encrypted.
Many users would probably like to hear even parts of the traffic rather than nothing at all.
A notation of partial encryption would show that some monitoring is possible as opposed to full encryption where nothing can be heard.

We do have that capability as Database Administrators, see this list:
Conventional frequencies:
FMN - FM Narrow
FMNe - FM Narrow with periodic encryption
FMNE - FM Narrow with full time encryption
P25 - P25 Digital
P25e - P25 Digital with periodic encryption
P25E - P25 Digital with full time encryption
etc etc. . .
Trunked Talkgroups
A - Analog
Ae - Analog with periodic encryption
AE - Analog with full time encryption
D - Digital
De - Digital with periodic encryption
DE - Digital with full time encryption
T - TDMA Digital
Te - TDMA Digital with periodic encryption
TE - TDMA Digital with full time encryption
Anything with a lower case "e" is what you are looking for. Advise your local DB Admin which talkgroups or conventional frequencies need updating.
Thanks for bringing this up!
