What's sad is how much will likely go in the dumpster instead into some deserving ham's hands ;c} Actually, there is still a legal question as to whether equipment that was not type-accepted for narrowband originally will still be legal if the transmitter is narrowbanded, ie, deviation turned down. The FCC has yet to clarify much of anything like that.
