Yes, but I would think it would already receive with
narrow fm on those bands??? Who would want to try to
operate while receiving in wfm, anytime a repeater 30
khz away that was stronger than the 1 you're operating
came in, it would capture your receiver, besides,
you're giving up sensitivity if you have it in wfm for
nfm transmissions.
