[Scan-DC] Encrypted P25 on Industrial/Business Pool freqs?

[Raven Rock]

Well it was garbled and sounds like P25 when encrypted, but so does your

"farm" system from King George VA needing coverage in Rockville and
Baltimore and Richmond now has me curious as to what is going on, to say
the least. 1400 acres is big, but not that big.
