A lot of the newer radios are programmed by computer and not crystal. They are in the police band and not CB radio. They could be reprogrammed for the business band for some smaller businesses. If the police unit went narrow band the the radios would not be compatible to pick them up. There is a lot of retired radios still in service around the country. A business band company can reprogram them for whoever buys them.
