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. -Stuart K5KVH retired fireman _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
