-> Do you have any idea why the range and clarity suffers from being
-> digital? I don't know anything about digital, but I know that one of
-> the things touted about the 900 mhz digital cordless phones is that
-> they have a digital signal, and because of this it has greater range
-> and a more clear audio signal. I tend to disbelieve this myself,
PCS does NOT have more range.  It has far LESS range.  One of the design
features of it is that there have to be 'repeaters' every few blocks,
instead of every few miles like in normal cellphones.
I haven't known anyone with a true digital cellphone, but I suspect
they'll perform about the same as normal ones.  Any Public Service
agency that I know of that has used digital trunking has had problems,
and encryption is even worse in regard to range and conversion
'clarity'.
