With digital you are there, or you are not, and "There" means it sounds
like you are sitting beside me. (Perhaps that is why I operate SSB, I
like to keep the skills honed a bit).


I just got my Digital equipment back in operating condition (Had several
issues, New computer lacked an AUDIO IN jack (Now have a dongle) Dongle
needed audio on the RING, not the TIP, I had used a mono plug (no ring)
Bad transformer (replaced with a better one)

When I say JUST... I mean yesterday

But back before the old computer died this is what I observed with
digital text

1: Signals I Could not hear (and I have good hearing) It could often decode.

2: Most signals either decoded...Or not... But sometimes.... IT was broken.


From other expierence, both with digital video and audio

As the signal degrades with analog it is 10,9,8,7 and so on

With Digital it is 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,5,0

(NOTE: Number of 10's is not to scale)
