[K3PZN-List] New NBFM spacings & BW?

[Curt Milton]

I would email someone from TMARC, like maybe Dave Prestel W8AJR.  As you can 
imagine this would decimate ARES since it would make our equipment mostly 
obsolete.  Like the others I don't see if happening.  


Repeaters in the 70's and 80's were used extensively.  I would forecast some 
gradual loss of repeaters as their supporters become SK's.  I don't know of any 
now vulnerable here, but I can imagine a steady decline in more rural areas.  
Not that I have any specific knowledge here - just a hunch.

Has anyone read/heard/know of this?

I was sure I'd read about this in one of my magazines (print or online) but 
can't find it now, but if I remember correctly the FCC has mandated a closer 
channel spacing & narrower bandwidth on the NBFM presently used for business & 
public safety NBFM bands.

Also in the article I read the Florida Ham Repeater Coordination Group was 
proposing the same kind of action by something like 2015? for all repeaters, I 
think they proposed a grand fathering in up to 2020 but after that no wider NBFM 
would be re-coordinated automatically & would have to give "good" reasons for 
wanting to stay at the +- 5 KHz BW & not move to the +-2.5 KHz proposed new BW..

Is this for real or did I dream this one up?

tnx & 73 de ke3fl
