While driving through Glynn Co. I see no listing for Brunswick City PD. Nothing on SEGARREN or local. I know they were encrypted last time but where did they go?
This is all so frustrating. I was THE scanner radio buff in St.Simons island Georgia, for over a decade. I've been thinking abut purchasing a digital scanner for some friends down in St. Simons island. But, now, with all this encryption crap. Would it be worth it for them?

It all depends on what they want to listen to. Most of the city/county law enforcement in Glynn County is encrypted. On the other hand, Glynn County FD and Brunswick FD are unencrypted. Another use for a digital scanner in the Glynn County area is the Coast Guard, and their communications on the Rescue 21 system are a mix of encrypted and unencrypted comms. Their analog stuff on Marine VHF is unencrypted.
I am glad someone finally posted about Brunswick. I dont think the sheriff is encrypted but I am not sure I only get there occassionally.
The county above and below ie:Camden are still VHF and active.

Like what KF4LMT said it all depends what they want to listen to...Some Federal stuff is great to listen to and GSP is not encrypted which is nice. Also Military air scanning is good to listen to while they are airborn and etc.

The coastal Georgia area is a great place to monitor military aviation. With MCAS Beaufort, Hunter AAF, NAS Jacksonville, and NS Mayport right on the coast and the offshore SUAs, Fort Stewart range complex, and Townsend Range in the area, there is almost always something to listen to. Aircraft from Shaw AFB, McEntire JNGB, Moody AFB, and Robins AFB also operate in the area at times.
