Hello Group, Isn't it true that the radio must be on the "List" of type excepted units? I have a brochure for the Midland syn1 radio that says it is capable of the 12.5 kHz splits and "Narrow" dev. (2.5kHz). I was told that the Syn1 was NOT on the list of type excepted radios. What about the Moto HT-1000? Have heard that some of the later serial numbers were narrow band accepted. Is there a list from NTIA or ???? that tells which radios are going to be "Legal" to use on narrow band fxs? I guess just because you can change the I.F. filters, and knock down the deviation, some rigs just won't fly.

I am one that says there won't be a huge flood of radios hitting the surplus market. Everything sold in the past 10 (or more) years has been narrow band capable right out of the box.
