Re: Hello??

I imagine that a comparison of quality over distance would look like this, with the top line representing digital vs analog on the bottom

You are almost right. Analog extends much further to the right past digital and the digital is a much sharper cutoff. Digital seems to be an all or nothing proposition and unlike FM and AM, if you miss any data you lose all of it.

We played around with the digital radios a year or two ago and found that they stay much clearer and seem to have more information carrying capability for a given bandwidth, however if you are working under marginal conditions, they stopped working where a FM radio could still make contact (granted we sometimes had to repeat several times it was so poor, but it at least worked).

It is more like this with the top line representing digital vs analog on the bottom, which extends further right
