Need Info Re: TRS System, Chicago

[KC9NCF]

I am looking at the Carma TRS profile, reprogramming my trunked system receiver, and it has a "DES" group listed. What is "DES"? Is it a "MUST PROGRAM" TG? If this question cannot be answered publicly, please use good judgement and send me a PM instead!

Thanks!

Des

DES is Digital Encryption Standard - the folks using this talkgroup have been heard using voice encryption. That's not to say that they will always use encryption on that talkgroup, just that it's been used there in the past.
