SC Department of Natural Resources (SC DNR) (SC)

The SC Department of Natural Resources is moving to palmetto 800 in the near future from conventional vhf. The Palmetto 800 talkgroups are broken down into counties, statewide, and secure channels. The officers are identified by there region number plus there county assignment. For example an upper Chas unit is 430 or 431 so on for the number of officers in that upper Chas unit. Command and admin call numbers begin with "L" pilots are also "L" as far as the channels.All officers were issued the apx 8000 multiband radios. DNR officers have been told to start carrying these new radios and using the radios for its intended purpose. Their are a ton of unidentified DNR talkgroups. We believe the DNR talkgroup range is 27411-25430. DNR officers APX8000 portables have local LE talkgroups and statewide interoperability talkgroups programmed for interoperability/mutual aid. It also appears that all DNR dispatch talkgroups are fully encrypted while ops and statewide talkgroups are in the clear.
