Our local fire, police and ambulance departments are going to Narrow Band per the FCC. I was told by one fire department that their pagers will only work one narrow band. Now this guy must be talking about the tones for the pagers? But to me wide or narrow the tones are the same. Right? Going narrow just means that they are taking up less of the band width for their frequency? He also said that scanners will not be able to listen to them unless the scanner is set up for narrow band. His wife gave me her nice Uniden BC-895XLT scanner because her husband told her the same thing. Some one who is in the know would like to fill us in on the topic. All EMS departments will be narrow band by April, in our area; from what he said.
