Anyone have one of these and has it been narrowbanded? How do you like it?

I have used one for aprox 3 years. Since I am using it as a monitor only I have left it wide as this audio sounds better to me.

They are excellent radios, provided there is no tampering to the internals. An EMS service I used to work for had a UHF VX4207 as a base station, and had an MDC encoding chip installed. It was in the shop numerous times, and was eventually replaced by our radio shop with a Kenwood TK8180.

As for an unmolested one, we also had VX4204 VHF's in the ambulances, and they work phenomenally.

I have a 4200 and in bothe the old wide band and now in the new narrow band I have had no problems.

Audio is just fine, loud as you want and clear, transmit is also just fine.

I tried to find a 12.5/25 kHz choice listed for the 4200 but the Vertex so-called "specs" don't show anything at all. If they're still selling the 4200 in the US market it's almost certain that the radio will do NFM and WFM.

They do the standard 25/20/12.5khz.

Our disaster relief organization has approx 100 of the VX-4204 VHF mobiles and have been in narrowband mode since 2006. We bought 30 brand new in 2011. The oldest ones from 2005 are still working fine. We love these model radios, public safety grade, excellent audio quality, rugged & super reliable.

We also have about 5 of the VX-7200 P25 digital VHF mobiles and love them too. The VX-7200 is same as VX-4204, but digital insides.
