Absolutely good points about the fail soft nature of analogue signals. 
While the new digital systems usually have a threshold, and fail hard, ie, 
the message does not get thru even partially, after a certain loss of signal 
point!

This is why analogue ham communications get thru in disasters, and many 
Public Safety systems do not, as they depend more and more on go/ no go 
digital systems.
