Why Use Digital Radio in Motorsport

Why use digital radio

Digital radio has major advantages for motor racing team use. The inherent noise cancelling of digital systems, combined with our proprietary noise cancelling technology, provides much clearer and higher quality communication in high-noise environments than traditional analogue radio.

The rejection of interference from other users and the ability of a two-car team to use one radio channel and one repeater* offers major benefits, including cutting radio licence fees in half. Our RACE 9000 / NX9000 single-seater and Race 9100 / NX9100 GT systems also benefit from the latest digital signalling technology to give a two-button Pit/car facility. This avoids the need for scanning radio channels—a process used in analogue systems that often introduced delays and lost communications.

The NX9000 system also offers Digital, Analogue, or mixed digital/analogue modes, making it ideal for migration from analogue to digital by utilizing your existing analogue pit radios.

All this helps provide a more flexible and usable solution to every team's communication needs.


Key Benefits

Single repeater has 2 channels*

Two conversations can take place on one radio channel at once; ideal for two-car teams.

Car and Pit calls monitored without scanning

No more lost first words from slow scanning delays.

Secure, digital conversations

Increased security with no more eavesdropping.

Clear, crisp, digital conversation

Consistent voice quality and volume throughout the range.

Inherent digital noise cancelling

Ideal for high-noise racing applications.

Analogue Mode

Existing analogue equipment can be integrated into the new system.

Immunity to interference

Digital radio is far less likely to be affected by common pit lane interference.
