HF communications are used as a last means of long distance communications without any relay node in NLOS (Non Line-Of-Sight) environment. Conventional analog voice communication in the HF band is vulnerable to security as well as severe background noise. To overcome these shortcoming, digital voice was introduced into HF radios in the early 1980s. In this paper, we analyze avaliable digital voice communication ground wave range of HF radios that applied MELPe CODEC and MIL-STD-188-110B physical layer standard using GRWAVE program. And we evaluate usefulness of digital voice communication in HF band.
