Charleston County changes?

[KirumiTojo]

What?

I think they're trying to say AI was getting past the encrypted channels somehow and getting audio from it (which isn't at all true)

 

[spencerwww]

What?

Do Al can do encrypted auditor unencrypted. I don't get it and cns anybody do u update in database .to wants encrypted and what's not I didn't know dispatch was

I’m still not 100% sure what you’re asking, but if you’re asking if AI engines can decrypt encryption, the answer is no. As a general rule, only receivers loaded with a proper encryption key can decrypt encrypted traffic, especially when you’re talking about AES encryption schemes.

I’ve already updated all talkgroups in the database that was able to reasonably confirm encryption on. If you know of others, please submit your own update request.

Well this sure is a bummer, I guess some channels were still available in April when I was here. I have been on the Charleston Simulcast since yesterday, some sheriff traffic, ton of ER and Hospital traffic, but nothing from any FD's as of today (6/15/2026)

They must've entirely encrypted everything. You can thank that CrimeRadar app for this..

Sad to say but yes they have gone over to the dark side and another one bites the dust

The entire country is going to be encrypted at this rate. Sad to say

 

[spencerwww]

Sonny question how is feeding going on scanner site not less the fire dept or EMS. Is letting them have feed or running it off radio

 

[Wnqk784]

If it is going then yes the department is doing it with a radio

 

[Steve162]

They only give it air and what gognnonnoting they don't give out. Certing stuff anditbeing encrypted we got carry radios are what we've tried to talk to other hospitals if there encrypted are we add channel and they have key codes so they are unlocked for us just case we got.to.respond to nither hospital

???????

That made absolutely no sense at all as far as I know Charleston county is fully encrypted on everything All public safety and fire and ems

It's a heatwave miracle, everyone! It looks like as of yesterday around midnight, all of the Charleston County feeds are (somewhat) back!! and with some new, exciting additions such as:

• TG 1505 - Delinquent Taxes
• TG 1534 - Mosquito Control
• TG 1846 - Coliseum Parking

There's also a BUNCH of new Berkeley County feeds that didn't exist on the calls platform before, and even some feeds specific to Moncks Corner, Hanahan, and Goose Creek, which I think is new.

Looking through on the calls platform, it seems like there's a pretty big chunk of feeds that show calls coming through, but when you go to listen they sound garbled or blank--is that what some form of encryption sounds like? I've only ever used the Broadcastify website, not an actual scanner. But hey, this is a step up from these feeds not showing up on the calls platform at all.

Personal aside, but this marks the return of my favorite feed: Folly Beach PS Ops (TG 1902). Unfortunately, right now it's muted/garbled, but maybe that will change in the near future. ​

Yeah, it's not uncommon for consumer-grade monitoring equipment to have bad decodes every so often, where the SDR software that's feeding the Calls platform doesn't immediately detect the use of encryption. That's why you see occasional transmissions that are short, blank or garbled. It's fun to get your hopes up by seeing those transmissions, though. Folly Beach PS Ops is definitely encrypted.

I wonder how long it will be before Berkeley County makes the change to encryption. Enjoy it while you can.

 

[amkam213]

Yeah, I realized just how many of them were muted/encrypted about 2 minutes after I could edit my post again I can confirm that those 3 I listed worked, though. Excited to listen to some mosquito stuff I guess!
