A different narrrowband question

[D300]

The narrowband thread below promoted me to ask this, which I wanted in a new thread: I understand a lot of what is involved and how the channels will change. What I have found missing from all these threads is examples from folks on divisions already changed as to what the are experiencing on a day-to-day basis with current freqs. that have been set to narrowband transmissions?

If your div. has changed, is your radio X percent reduced volume? If it is 5 percent that is one thing, if it is 50 percent that is another?

What is the static situation like? is it a minor problem, major or not very noticeable?

Any other changes you can notice?

Many thanks,

D300

Discussed here, in a thread from this summer:

CSX and NS have both converted to narrow band in Cincinnati and the difference is slight.  Reception is slightly poorer due to lower power and the audio seems a bit more crisp, which may have to do with the new radios more than anything.  For more information on the conversion, take a gander at this site.  http://www.dpdproductions.com/page_rrfreqs_newplan.html
