There are lots of good Tait radios out there and are a great choice for link radios as such like the Maxtracs and Radius GE Pheonix etc. radios. The older Tait radios use Dos sw which is free on the net and some newer use windows based and is free too. So if you get a T2000 radio you can program as you like and no narrow band. However the TB8105/8110/8115s might have new enough FW that forces to narrow band. The FW can be rolled back to allow wide band. I suspect the Tait folks there just dont want to deal with wide band stuff - even though it doesn't apply to ham bands. The NB thing affects all VHF UHF commercial radios sold in the US since 2013. So its not just a Tait thing. Jon VA3RQ On 6/13/2016 8:46 AM, Eric Guth wrote:
Tate is based in New Zealand. Perhaps there are surplus Tate mobiles in the market there. They work great for Allstar. I have a few.

The Tate U.S.A. headquarters is close enough to my home that I can walk to it. Unfortunately, they absolutely, positively, will not work on anything wide-band anymore, not even for amateur use. I went and spoke to them in person, and they just won't budge, period, no way.
