If you turn the deviation down in the Alignment mode A-4 DEV when it set to wide.
Wide deviation could be set to ± 2.4kHz.
Then both right and left are left set in wide deviation all the time.
On 2 meter you should be using narrow and on 70cm is well.
Don’t know what it would do to 6 & 10 they mite not like it
yeah but it limits the audience because people may be ignoring a topic that doesn't appeal to them, totally oblivious to the fact that the discussion is actually about something else that they may be interested in.
Better to moderate it and split it out into a new thread

I DON'T WANT THEM SET ON WIDE!
I want to be able to switch the right one to narrow, as my local 2m repeater is narrow now.
70cms should DEFINATELY not be used on narrow, and the only narrow use on 2m is narrow deviation repeaters.
6 and 10 are narrow all the time.
Will the next movie in the series be The Fast and The Funeral?
Well our two local 70cm repeaters is on narrow deviation they are commercial repeaters, if you use it on wide you fine it distort the signal
And all the FM Simplex channels are narrow as wall or they are in the band plan

never heard of anything on 70cm using narrow deviation before.
And NOONE up here uses narrow deviation on 2m either, except on the repeaters/internet gateways.

Click on the 70cm tab at the bottom on the webpage, 25 kHz bandwidth for FM simplex and repeater input/outputs - wide deviation is recommended (5 kHz). Narrow deviation (2½ kHz) is used on the newer 2 metre repeaters where there is a bandwidth requirement of 12½ kHz between the repeater channels, but wide deviation is still used on the simplex frequencies because the spacing is 25 kHz between the channels i.e. S20, S21, etc.

there are also 12.5kHz spaced channels on 2m, but in reality, only repeaters and internet gateways use them.

+1, I have only ever used it to access a local gateay, listen to a repeater and to have a simplex chat with a mate and we fancied doing something new, although most people still use 25Khz steps (as do I) and still call them "S20" (as do I).
