And I write:
In the unlikely event that a repeater designed for FM voice does pass the
digital data well enough to permit a conversation, it will make all the
regular analog FM voice users of the repeater very unhappy. It will sound
like their squelch is wide open, but advancing the squelch control will not
help. As long as the digital signal is transmitting, they will hear a loud
rush in their speakers.
It's going to take some ingenuity to accommodate the inevitable, long
transition between analog and digital communication on the VHF/UHF bands.
