The club radios are UHF business-band radios and I believe are set to operate
at 12.5kHz bandwidth already. There was a manual for the radios in a folder in
the club trailer, and it has instructions for setting their frequency and
bandwidth. Rick McGee may be able to help out with this as he will probably get
out there sooner than me.

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.
