Default FAA Plans to Change to Radios with 8.33 MHz spacing?

I would be surprised if a "25kHz" radio actually used more than 4kHz
on each side of the carrier, interfering with the "unsused" channels.

BUT, I would be much less surprised if a "25 kHz" radio, especially an
older one, was adversely affected by a transmission made 8.33 kHz
away.
