Del Rio, TX

[FlashSWT]

Hey gang, I heard from a colleague down in Del Rio that users there have recently switched from conventional to the A/TC/WC/MRG system:
Scanner Frequencies: Austin/Travis/Williamson/Middle Rio Grande Trunking System, Austin, Texas

Has anyone here heard anything? They've been told things will mostly be encrypted now and obviously don't want to drop $500 for a scanner if they are.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Last summer we took a trip around TX including the Big Bend area in our trek. I did pick up a CCh on the Austin/Travis Co. system while I was down in the Del Rio area (151.0400) but was actually driving at the time so I could not do more than capture the frequency and note the SysID. When I got back home I saw that it was the Austin/Travis Co. system and figured I had picked it up on some skip, so I ignored it...that'll teach me.
