Hi!
I've read a lot about Wide vs Narrow band. But I didn't really understood what is it...
I put my handheld to 162.55 (NOAA 7) and I get a louder sound on Narrow. On Wide it's quieter.
My understanding of it is that a frequency on 162.55 MHz on narrow band is +/-2.5 KHz (162.5525 MHz) and on wide it's +/- 5KHz (162.555 MHz).
If I take it from this perspective, we should always use Narrow band because it's more precise and we got more frequencies to use.
Now, I'm not a pro, so maybe someone will explain it properly and life will make sense again.
