With digital two-way radio the signal can be encrypted, meaning it is virtually impossible for third parties to listen to your conversations. With analogue comms, anyone with a scanner could eavesdrop your conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clear-audio-quality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_Audio_Quality\"><\/span>Clear Audio Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital radios will provide a much clearer voice quality than analogue due to the digitisation of your voice in the local radio being packaged and transmitted. So long as there&#8217;s no packet loss (possible at extreme ranges), then there&#8217;s no loss in voice quality. Modern Radios also have built-in noise-cancelling features that limit background noise such as static; and error correction for those moments of signal flutter, making the your conversations much clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-longer-range\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Longer_Range\"><\/span>Longer Range<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital radios range can provide up to 40% more coverage than analogue radio systems, offering clear voice quality at a longer distance due to resistance to interference from other signals; something analogue systems cannot deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-battery-life\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life\"><\/span>Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital two-way radios have a much longer battery life than their analogue counterparts; some reaching over twenty-four hours before needing to be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-better-features\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Features\"><\/span>Better Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the features found with new modern two way radios include a man-down signal to alert the base if you\u2019re injured, push-to-talk identification which acts as a Caller ID for radio users, GPS tracking features to help tracking and mapping and options of both individual calling and group calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-backwards-compatablity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backwards_Compatablity\"><\/span>Backwards Compatablity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most digital radios can step back and operate using the legacy analogue mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-i-need-a-licence-to-use-digital-two-way-radios\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_licence_to_use_digital_Two-Way_Radios\"><\/span>Do I need a licence to use digital Two-Way Radios?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pmr446-digital-radios\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PMR446_Digital_radios\"><\/span>PMR446 Digital radios<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase licence free, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/two-way-radios\/licence-free-two-way-radios-pmr446\/?two_digital_analogue=579\">digital PMR446 radios<\/a> which work on the same principle as their analogue counterparts, however there is some set-up to pair radios together to establish an encrypted connection before use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-long-range-licenced-two-way-radios\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_range_licenced_two-way_radios\"><\/span>Long range licenced two-way radios<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a need for longer range, or already have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/ofcom-user-licence\/\">Ofcom Radio Licence<\/a> for your area, then you can purchase higher powered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/two-way-radios\/licensed-radios-long-range\/?two_digital_analogue=579\">digital licenced two-way radios<\/a> for your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Two Way Radios (view range here) are the way forward for a vast number of industries and workplaces; with so many technological advancements changing the workforce in the past few years, digital radios are now rapidly replacing their analogue predecessors.<\/p>\n<p>Analogue two-way radios were introduced to the workplace in the early 1930s with their original limit contained within a small area and though over the decade&#8217;s improvements have been made to analogue radios the only way to really improve on them now is to switch over to digital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,138],"tags":[240,241,100,99,242,210],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v21.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Benefits Of Digital Two Way Radios | PMC Telecom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read more about the benefits of Digital Two Way radios compared to Analogue Two Way Radios.
