Contrary to the hype being promoted by many Manufacturers, plain stupid old-fashioned analog will always be around. When the sky does fall (even locally and temporarily) it may be the only thing that still works.
Remember that all radios send a voice signal by modulating the RF carrier, either in strength (AM) or frequency (FM). Analog radios modulate the signal directly. Digital radios modulate that same RF carrier to specific deviation points to transmit the one's and zero's that represent the voice. It is the differences in the deviation pattern and the speed that changes between the physical transport layers of the formats, but it is still RF energy on specific frequencies.
Liken it to smoke signals: Analog radios look for smoke, while digital radios have to see the width variations in the smoke column. If a digital receiver can see 95% of the variations in the width of the smoke column it will work perfectly. But the atmosphere can introduce errors into the visibility of the width of the smoke which the digital receiver requires. Trees can get in the way and block the view of a portion of the billowing smoke. The further off (or smaller) the smoke column is, the harder it is to see details. Error correction can only do so much. But no matter whether you are far away or up close an analog radio can still tell it's smoke, which is all it needs to know.
Digital communication is only being promoted as new and better- the SOS sent by the Titanic was in Morse code, technically a digital format with a baud rate of what, two? Real smoke signals are much older and have an even slower baud rate. Digital radios require accurate data throughput speeds thousands of time greater.
Many users are going to digital for localized communications, but when it comes to long distance or imperfect but reliable communications, analog will always be the format of choice.
