Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for communicating using both analog and digital transmissions on the same bandwidth. The method may include receiving a digital transmission and an analog transmission using a same/shared bandwidth. The method may include playing a digital audio of the digital transmission and an analog audio of the analog transmission using a same audio output. The digital transmission may include an identification code. The playing of the digital audio may include selectively playing the digital audio based on a match of the identification code with a stored identification code of the system and selectively squelching the digital audio based on a mismatch of the identification code with the stored identification code.
