It is my limited understanding that, even with digital simplex, that it may not carry a weak signal at all once it passes a certain threshold (longer range) while a weak analog signal can still be received, through the noise. The audio clarity of digital will be better across the board than analog, but once the digital signal is too weak it won't come through at all. Is this correct?
