I have a question in reference to the programming of the radios in my county. I've been reading that if the channel is a single repeater site the channel should be programmed with the C4FM for field units. The radio company that programmed all our radios across the county made all of the digital channels CQPSK. I'm assuming this is incorrect if I've read properly? CQPSK is only for the tower sites to transmit of they're on a simulcast setup, correct?
Our Dispatch channel is analog simulcast and is PL 250.3. We then have 3 individual digital regional repeater sites for fireground ops.
My questions is this: field user mobiles and portables should transmit C4FM, not CQPSK, correct?
Another questions is would there be a performance/quality difference if the field users were C4FM or is them transmitting CQPSK not going to make a difference?
