Without looking it up, I think the deviation for FM-Narrow is something like
5khz, where for FM-Wide (like the military sets) it's 8khz. Figures like
25kHz, 100 kHz and 50 kHz you come across with respect to the 25s etc.
relates to channel spacing. I thought of trying to crank up the deviation
of the FM-Narrow sets to a level more compatible with the FM-Wide sets, but
others on the list were dead right, and the signal would be clipped by later
stages.
I've got a boxload of low-band Motorola MT handhelds at work, and trying one
with the 524 set gave the expected "quiet" results on the 524 receiver.
