Alleghany County Sheriff Information

Alleghany County Sheriff and City of Covington have switched over to an advanced rolling code encryption on a Digital Nexedge system. They use their old analog frequencies for this system.

• The full switchover occurred on November 15th 2011

• As of 2010 EST on November 18th the Nexedge system has crashed and County is back on analog. They will be switching back once its fixed no doubt.

• They switched back over to the Nexedge system on November 28th. The system occasionally drops into analog before reverting to digital but not often and only for a few minutes or so when it happens. No idea why its happening though.

• The system allows them to revert to analog at any time should they so desire or in case of a digital system failure like what happened tonight.

• This system because of the Rolling Code Encryption is completely unmonitorable
