Digital voice modes do not require internet to function. If the internet is down the repeater will act much like an analog repeater with clearer audio. Quite often clubs setup a repeater without internet initially for testing.

All of the digital voice rigs that I know of have analog FM capability. A DMR rig is not exactly a one-trick pony. Of all the modes of digital voice the DMR rigs are most reasonably priced. Many of DMR rigs are less than $100.
