Emanuel County

[More2x4]

Is Emanuel County currently fully encrypted? I noticed that your feed is not available anymore, so I didn't know if they went encrypted, or if maybe someone got to you & made you stop 😂😂😂

No....no encryption in the county systems at all. City, East Georgia State on NXDN, Oak Park has hired back two officers but they are still on the conventional freq's. I expect the the Sheriff's department to switch over at any time, I know they are ready, but don't know why they are waiting.

I got tired of maintaining the feed, so I stopped. Last I heard, the county should be moving to the new P25 system anytime now. I can't recall discussions of any departments going encrypted at this time, but who knows.

I have the equipment, I think, to feed Emanuel, Toombs, Montgomery and Johnson....I'm just not sure how to set it up and how much work to maintain it.

I am hearing Swainsboro PD on NXDN this morning unencrypted. Don't be surprised if they do go encrypted at some point. Seems to be a trend over the past several years.

Ummm, yea… And ya know why? 🙄

Just an update with all the major delays the county has faced. It seems the system is starting to come online. I received some traffic through Simulcast from other counties on Emanuel County Towers today. They are still currently communicating on the Analog system still. Here is some information I gathered today:

CC is Ch0-1001 at 857.2625
VC is Ch825 at 856.1625
Ch 881 at 856.5125
Ch 925 at 856.7875

NAC: 2CA

Site: BEE00.2C5-1.10 SEGARRN Emanuel County Simulcast

It is not pulling a Neighbor List as of yet.

There is also a Site 1.9 that continues to come up as well, unknown what county this might be.

Noticed that Emanuel County has a few month old license for a 5 site, 5 frequency P25 Simulcast system. (WRXJ539)

The new P25 simulcast cell has sites in Swainsboro, Soperton, Adrian, Twin City, and Midville. Frequencies are:
854.7625
856.1625
856.5125
856.7875
857.2625

That is correct. The 5 sites are a perfect cross pattern over Emanuel County. Site in Summertown (mailing address Midville). Nunez (mailing address Soperton). Norristown (mailing address Adrian). Twin City. Swainsboro.

They’ve been building the system since 2023 and was supposed to go online August 2024 then Hurricane Helene. Then I don’t know what has delayed them now yet another year.

There is already traffic being Simulcasted from other SEGRRN counties on the Emanuel Co Towers.

AES256 😣

AES256 😣

For some traffic out of Bulloch and Chatham. Candler isn’t… yet… and FD and EMS isn’t either.

 

[RRR]

Emanuel county paid a lot of $ for every subscriber radio to have AES256 in it

 

[tehanners]

Ahh I see. Didn’t know that since they haven’t started any traffic yet. I know it was highly encouraged of them. Especially when I was more active around their radios, it may have been said how “easy” someone can listen in on the system. I know they have some 500 radios ordered. And they’ve always desired to be like Bulloch.

 

[tehanners]

I know original discussion was to encrypt only LEO only. Who knows now

 

[benmills411]

all emauel county police fire ems schools are going full enc

 

[RRR]

One of the command staff stated they didn't want their "radio traffic on people's phones". Did not specify an app or whatever.
Same thing the Sheriff of Bulloch county said before they went E 🤷🏻‍♂️

Their new system went live this morning.
