Lower deviation = less range? Lower deviation = "more punch"? Actually both are correct.
The static [bench-test] performance of narrowband radios often shows some S/N improvement vs. wideband, however, there is more to intelligibility [DAQ] than a simple bench test indicates. The signal dynamics of a multi-path, faded, real world coverage environment are what causes the degradation of the narrowband analog format compared to wideband analog. A study of TSB-88 is highly recommended for those who want additional details. ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, MCH <m...@...> wrote: > > I'm having a hard time understanding this. > > If you have the same format signal (analog), and you reduce the > deviation by half, how is that reducing the range?
