Colleton County has migrated to the P-25 system and will soon encrypt most if not all talk groups in the next few months.
Only thing I can say is that encryption is a sign of weakness enough said
I have a Uniden BCD325P2. If Colleton County SC fire rescue is encrypted, does this mean I cannot ever get them to come in? If so, very sad. I am not one of those people who posted information on social media. I listened because I have friends and family who are part of the emergency services. I guess our taxes pay for everything they have and use, but we are not allowed to listen like we used to in the good ole days.
Sadly its a crap shoot anymore with encryption being included in the P25 user fees that each county / municipality pays for their radios. More and more are turning to encryption. I get the need for it for certain operations and information that doesn't need to be out in the open like SWAT events Hostage Situations large scale busts etc. I honestly just wish that the public airwaves for noon sensitive ops would remain open and public like they used to.
