I have a GM300 narrowband mobile (M34GMC00D3A), how do I know when its programmed to do 12.5Khz? There is nothing in RSS to select, where the MTS2000 CPS allows unique modes for narrowband. Thanks, Tony Cort Buffington wrote: > > I said I'd report back > > XYL and I were out with the EX50

I said I'd report back XYL and I were out with the EX500s today. I copied the channel we normally use for simplex and changed nothing but made it a narrower channel. Results. Noise squelch seems sloppier (normally I use DPL or PL, so that really isn't to big of a deal), audio fidelity

I think it's worth repeating (no pun intended!): 0. In a narrower band FM system, with only the carrier present, you may well get a bit more ultimate quieting sensitivity (but not necessarily better SINAD) as the receiver's IF bandpass (selectivity) is narrower, letting less noise thru. Howev
