Something I found:
narrowbanding does not apply to GMRS/FRS systems:
Note! The FCC narrowbanding mandate does not include MURS, FRS or GMRS as
they fall under Part 95 of the FCC rules. Nor does it apply to VHF low band
(30-50HMz), Marine VHF, Amateur, 700, 800, or 900 MHz systems (DTR
<http://www.techwholesale.com/motoroladtr.html> ) or CB systems.

Does this change effect our club radios?
On January 1, 2013, all public safety and business industrial land mobile
radio systems operating in the 150-512 MHz radio bands must cease operating
using 25 kHz efficiency technology, and begin operating using at least 12.5
kHz efficiency technology. This deadline is the result of an FCC effort that
began almost two decades ago to ensure more efficient use of the spectrum
and greater spectrum access for public safety and non-public safety users.
Migration to 12.5 kHz efficiency technology will allow the creation of
additional channel capacity within the same radio spectrum, and support more
users.
After January 1, 2013, licensees not operating at 12.5 KHz efficiency will
be in violation of the Commission's rules and could be subject to FCC
enforcement action, which may include admonishment, monetary fines, or loss
of license.
