Unfortunately those "unused" 8.3kHz channels don't actually exist -
they are already occupied by the existing 25kHz channels. Also any
radio you use to transmit here in the USA has to be type approved and
current approval doesn't include the 8.3kHz units.
I don't understand the claim of "not approved" status: quite a few 8.3
kHz spacing units are available for sale in this country, including
Becker AR6201 and MGL V6 (the unit I use). Are these illegal to use on
the standard 25 kHz spacings?
