All OPD radio have encryption since March 2015. They have been using it since example channel 5 has been encrypted since March or April of 2015. Dispatch has encryption in their consoles for about a year. So this is nothing new. But let the paranoia start.

They could go full enecrypted after the upgrade but they will be phase 2. The upgrade should be done in about 3-6 months.
