Programming a R1225 from 25khz wide to 12.5 narrow ?

[Satelite]

Hello;
I have a Motorola r1225 uhf repeater coming in a day or so that was operating at 25 kHz wide band.
The license has been modified several months back and now before harvest gets going he wants it programmed for 12.5 narrow band.
Its been awhile since I did a r1225 but my question is .
After reading the r1225 repeater is changing the 25 kHz option to and selecting the 12.5 kHz option all you have to do to put the r1225 on 12.5 narrow band operation ?
Ill obviously check it per the service monitor but is that the only thing that needs changed to go to 12.5 narrow band ?
Thank You

Yep, that's it, simple.

Hello:
Cool that's what my memory was telling me but it seemed too easy.
Thank you for the reply.

I would recommend a realignment of the station after the reprogramming, especially the oscillator since being off-frequency is much more likely to cause negative performance in narrow vs. wide

escomm gives sage advice, which didn't occur to me yesterday but as far as programming for NB, it's easy.

Yep. Align it. As we were pushing through narrowbanding last year for our customers, maybe six out of ten could have gotten away with just programming. Maybe closer to 50/50. Most of the time the NB deviation settings were too low - could hardly hear a word they said. But then you'd run across one that someone tuned the wrong section years ago setting them LOUD which came through as distorted crackle on the system. Pretty horrible sounding. It was as simple as program the radio, and check it on the service monitor.

I ABSOLUTELY agree that it is best to check alignment after programming.
I found many radios that the dev was too low.
Keeps the radio within the "mask" but seriously affected coverage.
