The FCC doesn't allow digital voice on GMRS (or FRS or MURS).I wish they did digital.
I wish they did digital. Having the ability to go digital for better range and encryption for privacy would be great.

With digital you don't lose audio quality until the signal is too weak to decode.Not srue how or why going digital would increase range, can you explain?

The same thing applies to DMR and P25.Audio Quality and Coverage | What is NXDN™ ? | NXDN Forum Website

I know digital sounds better when within range, but I wasn't aware it increased range. When digital is out of range you get nothing right?
Isn't this one of the reasons aircraft still uses AM analog?
I've also heard that AM is still used for aircraft because there's no FM capture effect and if an aircraft is transmitting an emergency there is a better chance of getting through even if there's heterodyning with another signal.

Is anyone knocking on the FCC’s door asking for digital?
Hmm...that would be cool, even if just an experimental license. We have the room for it, repeater pair wise, in my area and beyond to reduce interference. I need to read up on how to obtain that and any data they may need for the system area and the system itself such as the Quantar etc.
I too doubt the FCC would allow only one digital mode. As to the FCC rules, I don't need to add problems to my list of things. @mmckenna do you have any info on that group? It may accelerate my research if I can get some insight from them.
UPDATE: Well, I found the FCC experimental licensing system easy enough. Time for some reading.

I had a dog and his name was Bingo. "Capture effect" plays a role in communications for sure.I've also heard that AM is still used for aircraft because there's no FM capture effect and if an aircraft is transmitting an emergency there is a better chance of getting through even if there's heterodyning with another signal.
