Not an MSR-2000! They stopped making those before the NB mandate came into being. You can turn the deviation down, of course, but the receiver will still be wide-band. Xtal filter mods can be gotten from Comm-Spec, but doing so is not appropriate for a fed or PS customer, if for no other reason then it's old enough that it should be replaced anyway, from a reliability standpoint. 20 years is a normal end-of-life for base station equipment in mission-critical applications. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
