I was reading that there will be some changes to the Belmont County TRS. From what I have read they are going to be moving to some incripted talkgroups.
Here is an excerpt:
Updating the 800 Backbone:
We have received a proposal from Motorola that would update the 800 Backbone. Board Members were presented with a handout listing descriptions and costs for the update and several options. A listing is as follows:
Item # Item Cost
1 Software System Agreement This Item must be done but should be picked up by Homeland Security monies. $85,638.72

They will more than likely only use encryption for sensitive ops. They would be stupid for using encryption on a day to day basis. That's costs WAY too much for the encryption module in each radio.
