162-174 Mhz Narrowbanding Question

[Junior1970]

Is there anyone out there that knows of a custom table to correctly track the federal frequencies in this group. I know of a custom table to correctly track Motorola 800 Mhz freqs after rebanding. I have a 96/2096 combo and it tracks rebanded freqs in the 151-160 Mhz band fine but not the ones stated above.

Can't hear the tactical for wildland fire fighting here because of it and it's already busy!! HELP!!!

Narrowbanding of conventional frequencies and rebanding of 800MHz trunked systems are completely different things. You don't need a custom table for narrowbanding. The frequencies may not even change although some shuffling of frequencies could occur as splinter frequencies become available.

Just change the modulation to NFM for the frequencies that have been converted. If you have low audio and there is an an "audio boost" option on your scanner, try it.

99.999% of the forestry channels are Conventional, not trunked, so a table is not required to listen/track.

Narrowbanding which occured to the Federal Freqs years ago is not the same as the 800 ReBanding which is on-going and affects your listening pleasure of 800 Trunked and Conventional systems.
