An Advantage of 6.25 kHz Radios—Improved Usable Range

NXDN radios have more usable range than twelve point five kilohertz radios. Six point two five kilohertz and twelve point five kilohertz radio waves traveled the same amount of distance However, six point two five kilohertz have more usable signal. Interference in radios is called white noise. Yes, that same white noise you might hear from an old CRT television. White noise is evenly distributed across the radio spectrum. It's comprised of various radio frequencies. For example, you're eating dinner in a quiet and empty restaurant with a friend. You can easily hear whispers from across the table. If you go to a busy restaurant, it'll be more difficult to hear your friend's whisper with all the background six point two five kilohertz and the twelve point five kilohertz band each take up a slice of the overall electromagnetic spectrum. The smaller slice of spectrum, the smaller the noise power. Because six point two five kilohertz is half the spectrum size of twelve point five kilohertz, we get less noise in NXTN radials. On an audio scale, six point two five kilohertz radios have a three decibel improvement over twelve point five kilohertz range. A strong signal can improve the radio's overall quality and have conversations with less interference Icom's IdIS radios use NxDN technology.
