RR radios

[NW Mailing List]

In theory...if you have a receiver that accepts a signal 25kHz wide, and 
the transmitters
are sending a signal that's 6.25KHz wide, you'd be listening to four 
adjacent channels at once.
And if only one of those channels were active it could be very quiet or 
distorted.
Truth is I've been listening to narrow signals with a wide receiver for 
years (2 to one, not
4 to one) with no noticeable difference as long as the adjacent channels 
weren't busy as well.
