Analog Radio VS Digital Radio

Analog Radio VS. Digital Radio.


So what is Analog Radio and Digital Radio?

Analog radio broadcasting works by converting the sounds into electrical signals. The signals are then transmitted by a carrier wave to the analog radio reciever which then converts the signals back into audio.

On the other hand, Digital radio broadcasting converts the sounds into digital numbers which are then transmitted by a carrier wave to the digital radio reciever.


What is the difference between the two Radios?

Digital radio offers many benefits when compared to Analogue radio. In comparison to Analog, Digital radio has:

2.  Greater Security- can't be eavesdropped with traditional scanners.

3.  More Features- GPS tracking etc.

4.  Direct Calling- you can call the radio directly.

5.  Longer Battery Life- generally 2-6 hours extra usage.

6.  Stronger Range- stronger signals at the extremities and gives a much further usable range.
