I see the SC DNR talkgroups were updated. i know they use their vhf statewide system. i saw in the interoperability report that DNR officers are getting Motorola apx radios for interoperability and still use their vhf system for main ops and cited user costs for not switching full time to palmetto 800. wouldn't using palmetto 800 costs less then using and maintaining the vhf system. they already started the roll out of apx radios. i saw a DNR officer the other day at food lion and saw he had a Motorola apx 8000 on his belt. i guess they are going to program their vhf system and palmetto 800 into the same radio to make it easier so they dont have 2 radios. it was rare to me to see a DNR officer carrying a portable i almost never see them carrying a portable radio.

You are correct. All officers were issued the apx 8000 multiband radio. We still use vhf for primary communications but we are also using the 800 system. You may or may not have heard us using our statewide 800 channel over the last few weeks as an interop channel with sled. For general info there are way more dnr 800 channels than you know of. I would imagine at some point in the future we make a full switch over. We have been told to start carrying these new radios and using the radios for its intended purpose. There are a lot of channels in them from georgia agencies to nc agencies vhf uhf 800. The vhf system is still primary but in certain situations we migrate over to 800.

They use P25 on VHF but is it encrypted?
Hi all i have created a wiki for DNR so we can identify the talk groups for DNR

No sir. I have to work and on call at the same time ill get them later on in the evening. People have misconceptions about or jobs. While we aren't county or city our areas are much bigger with calls that can sometimes take hours to investigate. Or on the boat where we may be offshore or inshore checking fish and safety stuff. So if it takes awhile to respond my apologies.
Here's the list of all SCDNR regions and the counties in each region:
Region 1 – Clemson
Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens, Abbeville, Greenwood, Union, Cherokee, McCormick, Edgefield counties

All we need now is a Code sheet. Just heard a Signal 2 in Laurens County
on what channel/talkgroup did you hear it on. they are currently using the ops talkgroups as region wide dispatch and some vhf. some of the dispatch channels for them are fully encrypted so when dnr switches over fully to 800 and start using the dispatch channels they will probably go silent. i looked at the local signals/10 codes and they are completely different.
here is the lineup

ok. can you keep monitoring it and could you also monitor
27412 6B14 Ch 2. Oconee, pickens, Anderson De
27413 6B15 Ch 3. Greenville, spartanburg, cherokkee,union De
27414 6B16 Ch 4. Greenwood, laurens, edgefield, McCormick De
and see what you hear and if they are full time encryption or just part time i currently have them all marked part time encrypted. i heard they may switch soon im hearing traffic on
27416 6B18 Ch 6. York, Chester, Clarendon, Fairfield, Lee, Kershaw De but most of it is encrypted. all the dnr talkgroups are dynamic so any talkgroup can be carried on any site as long as a radio is affiliated to that talkgroup on that site. you'll also hear dnr officers on local LE talkgroups too as all dnr radios are programmed with local LE talkgroups. its unknown weather dnr just has access to all local LE talkgroups or just dispatch talkgroups. i sometimes hear dnr officers on newberry county sheriff 1.
