Analogue (AM and then FM) two way radio has been commercially available for over 60 years in many countries, arguably it reached its peak, both in technology and sales volume between 2004 and 2014. The growth of digital radio has displaced analogue radio as the radio of choice for many commercial buyers, particularly as entry level digital radios can now be purchased for around the same price as a mid level analogue radios. 

 

Some countries have somewhat turned their back on analogue two way radio many other parts of the world continue on with analogue radio, this includes many parts of Asia, Eastern and some remoter parts of Western Europe and Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and even the USA.

 

Analogue is not dead, it has been lying dormant for a few years and yet we still get asked for analogue radios on a regular basis. Despite all the "digital blurp and marketing" analogue can and does outperform digital in some remote terrains and indeed even in some city locations. 

​

At Wolfsin we like analogue two way radio! We never really wanted to give up on it and here are the reasons why.

 

Analogue audio sounds really good, life like, rich, clear, rounded, so much so you can easily identify, by the sound and tone of a callers voice, exactly who is calling as compared to digital which can be so synthesised that its impossible to tell who is calling. To the inexperienced, injured, lost or desperate person, the rich sounding received audio of a good analogue two way radio is often exactly what is required and with 1 watt of clear audio of the K9 really could be your best friend in such circumstance! 

​

Analogue radio is really easy to use and understand with none of the sudden and near instant drop off in communication coverage experienced with most digital radios, analogue may get "hissy" or even "hissy broken" but you can still discern the words spoken, digital gets "digital robot or digital breathless" where hardly a word can be deciphered.

 

Analogue radio if professionally manufactured and correctly set up will achieve 95-96% coverage over ground as almost ANY digital radio.

 

Why do customers ask for analogue radios? Reasons range from much better, more natural sounding audio (which they are used to), better overall value and believe it or not, better coverage in certain conditions. In many ways analogue radio is easier to manage, service and repair and the increased battery time often claimed for digital radio is only true on a single digital time slot back to back, otherwise there is not much real world battery saving over analogue radio.
