8.2 NARROWBANDING
The FCC has mandated that all public safety radios manufactured after January 1, 2013 comply
with narrowbanding restrictions. Radios manufactured after the above date will comply with these
restrictions. Existing radio personalities that contain frequencies that violate these FCC rules will
cause an invalid channel error indication on the radio display. The user will need to change the
radio personality to comply with the new rules. Note that there are multiple exceptions to the
narrowbanding mandate, including the Marine Frequencies listed in Section 8.1.
