Digital Radio Training Course

What You Will Learn

Build a clearer understanding of the technologies, measurements, and troubleshooting decisions involved in modern digital radio communications.

• Explain how frequency, channel bandwidth, and modulation affect digital radio operation.
• Recognize the principal characteristics of DMR, TETRA, P25, and NXDN systems.
• Compare TDMA and FDMA access methods used by different radio technologies.
• Describe the roles of control channels, talkgroups, and trunked radio operation.
• Differentiate NXDN conventional operation from Type-C and Type-D trunking configurations.
• Interpret RSSI, bit error rate, registration status, coverage consistency, and received audio.
• Distinguish between coverage, interference, configuration, equipment, and network faults.
• Apply a structured process to confirm faults and collect useful technical information.
