The FCC released a Public
<http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2012/db0105/DA-12
-12A1.pdf> Notice on January 6, reminding land mobile licensees, frequency
coordinators and equipment manufacturers that they have less than one year
to transition to narrowband operations in the 150-174 and 421-512 MHz
bands. While the latter frequency range includes amateur service
allocations, radio amateurs are not affected by the narrowbanding
requirement. Land mobile operation is permitted in parts of the 421-430
MHz band in the areas around Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, and land
mobile licensees in these areas are among those who will have to migrate
to narrowband (12.5 kHz or narrower) technology by January 1, 2013.
Amateur operation is not permitted along the Canadian border (north of
Line A as defined in the FCC Rules) in the band 420-430 MHz.
