[FedCom] Re: P25 Digital For or Against?

Excellent explanation Dave! You gave everyone a clear and easy to
understand difference in the "comms vs distance" argument regarding the 2
modulation schemes!

Keeping Dave's explanation in mind, and going a step further, that's the
reason the cost of a "digital" system is so much higher than the cost of
a comparable "analog" system, there is more infrastructure (read:
repeaters and/or receivers) required to maintain good comms over the same
given area. If you need an example, look around at how many cell towers
there are in your neighborhood, I think you will agree, there are many
more now, than when analog 800 MHz cellular was the only game in town!
