Thomasville's communications, in brief:

As of Summer 2009, Thomasville and Thomas County have transitioned to an all-digital APCO-25 SmartZone trunking system, in cooperation with Dougherty County. Tritional trunk-tracking scanners will no longer operate correctly on this system; although the control channel can be decoded by a tritional trunking scanner, the voice commnication is all digital and requires a digital receiver to decode.

Here is information about the digital trunking system:

Type: Motorola SmartZone Type II
Traffic: APCO-25 digital (unencrypted)
System ID: BC30 (Thomasville is "Site 3" out of a 4-site system operated in conjunction with Dougherty County.

855.9875 digital voice
