At Minute 29 of the July Board Meeting a resolution was adopted creating a study committee “for the purpose of research and to consider developing a plan to move the US amateur community to narrowband channel spacing.” The resolution was premised in part upon the FCC mandate for narrowbanding in commercial two-way radio services.

Attached is an FCC Public Notice explaining narrowbanding as it applies to Industrial/Business and Public Safety Radio Pool licensees. Of course, these rules do not apply to the Amateur Radio Service but it may be helpful to know about them.
