<DIV>This question is for the radio experts out there. I read in
<EM>Railway </EM>Age magazine where the FCC is requiring railroads and other
commercial communications shift to narrow-band radios (shift from 25 kHz to 12.5
kHz) by 2013, with the possibility that the FCC soon will require a shift to
"narrow-narrowband" (6.25kHz), or all-digital radios.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What effect will these changes have the decade-or-so old scanners that some
of us have?</DIV>
