I guess you say what type of modulation and bandwidth are you using for the
new Digital Repeater?
Should not be any problem. The digital modulation mask are getting more
efficient in the use of the spectrum as channel bandwidth get narrower. The
name of the game is to get more spectrum efficiency. Just because you go
digital the RF rules of the game should not change. They say Digital
modulation is less inclined to discernible interference than analog FM.
I have not seen any problems when taking trunked systems from Analog FM to
Digital P25. I have several mixed mode systems and again have never seen
any inter-modulation issues come up when going to digital mode. In general I
think the Digital P25 mode gives much better quality audio over a larger
part of the coverage area. Something commercial & especially public safety
users want.
