No, Sabers are not narrowband capable.

Off the top of my head I would say that the HT1000 portables with a DN suffix were some
of the first programmable narrowband radios but there are probably others as well.

So in other words the Sabers will be out when the FCC finishes the narrowband requirements?

My ASTRO Saber will do narrowband no problem... but I don't think any of the analog radios will.

Yes, for commercial/public service work. If you're a ham you can still them wideband there.
