Existing channels that are operating narrowband on the same frequencies will still be receivable, but the audio level will be lower as compared to channels that are properly demodulated. This constitutes the majority of narrowband channels at this time. You won't be able to tune precisely to the new frequencies freed up by narrowbanding (but you'd likely still receive them, albeit at a low volume level and possibly subject to some interference as long as you were tuned to the closest tunable frequency).

What do you mean by "existing channels that are operating narrowband on the same freqs"? So your saying if theres a channel that I listen to that stays the same with the freq number,but just gets narrowbanded I would still be able to listen to it with all the current uniden scanners? What happens if the channel gets narrowbanded and the freq numbers change? I would still be able to listen to them if I put the nearest freq to the freq that has been changed? So how close would the freq have to be then?

1. So your saying if theres a channel that I listen to that stays the same with the freq number,but just gets narrowbanded I would still be able to listen to it with all the current uniden scanners?

Yes.

Yes. Since the FM bandwidth is 25 khz, you'd need to be able to tune to with 10-15 kHz (which will pretty much always be the case). There will be some degradation in signal quality and reception sensitivity, though. If it is a strong signal, probably won't notice much other than the reduced volume level.

Okay,so just to make sure would I be able to use the Uniden BC370CRS on freqs that just get narrowbanded and freqs that get narrowbanded and get changed?
