Adaptive digital coding of the received analog information based on the signal strength can be performed in the following manner. When the repeater receives the analog information from the communication device (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 greater than or equal to the first signal quality value, the received analog information is digitized (208) based on the first digital coding format. If the signal quality of the received analog information is less than the first signal quality value, the received analog information is digitally coded 206 based on the second digital coding format.
