Adaptive digital coding of received analog information based on signal strength can be accomplished in the following manner. Once a repeater receives analog information from a communication unit (200), the signal quality of the received analog information is determined (201, 203). Next, the signal quality of the received analog information is compared with a first signal quality value (204). If the signal quality of the received analog information is above the first signal quality value, the received analog information is digitally coded based on a first digital coding format (208). If the signal quality of the received analog information is below the first signal quality value, the received analog information is digitally coded based on a second digital coding means (206).
