Frankly, I would likely tell him to go pound salt. He needs a REEEEALY good reason to force you to change out perfectly good equipment. Interference issues are about the only legit reason. Hams are NOT subject to the narrowbanding requirements of business and public safety users, so that doesn't hold water. I would say unless your current equipment is defective and causing interference, f he really want you to upgrade, he should fork over most of the money. WD8CHL
