Umm-I got a question-are you converting the rx to narrowband? Otherwise, when they start putting people 7.5 Khz from your input, you'll hear them-fuzzy, but you'll hear them. I'm hearing that on VHF systems already, with off-freq narrowband stuff trashing a wide-band system. Yeah, what you've got is not a bad way to transition, but eventually you'll want to pull the wideband rx's when they start putting people on adjacent freqs. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
