Narrow band is only required on the interstitial channels (those that fall between the repeater pairs) along with the reduced power requirements, but I don't believe the FCC would have any problem if were were to narrow band a repeater. However transient users and other may have a problem ,radio wise, in using it unless it is a private or closed system. -- Doug N3DAB/WPRX486/WPJL709
