Roger, Not defending a wide mode...but its all in your prespective.
If I consider a 6-8 KHz wide mode a "wide mode", then a 2-3 KHz wide mode could be considered a narrow mode. There are amateur radio operators in the world who do consider a 2-3 KHz mode a narrow mode and wide modes as being 6-8 KHz wide.
