<H1>The Gadget Show tests digital and analog walkie talkies</H1>
<P><STRONG>The Gadget Show</STRONG>, broadcast on the UK TV station Channel 5, 
recently compared two PMR446 walkie talkies, the ICOM Digital F4029SDR and the 
Motorola FM TLKR-T7.</P>
<P>The Gadget Show Wild Challenge took to the Lake District to pit old 
technology FM analog voice, in the form of the Motorola, against the new ICOM 
using the Digital PMR446 standard. As might be expected the Digital ICOM proved 
superior to the FM Motorola.</P>
<P>This particular digital technology uses 4FSK/FDMA modulation and supports 
both voice and data. It operates with 6.25 kHz channel spacing instead of the 
12.5 kHz channels required for FM enabling twice as many channels to be carried 
in the same spectrum.</P>
