Andy, If you have done packet at the start of the packet craze back in the late 80's, you probably would remember that AEA (at the time) came out with a nice FM deviation meter that was used to determine if you were over modulating your signal. Don't remember the model number as it has been a LONG time since I have even seen one..:) Do a google search for 'FM deviation meter' and you'll come up with a few nice links for either building your ownmeter or modifying a Motorola Maxtrak to use along with some test equipment for checking your deviation. I think the Maxtrak idea is probably going to be the simplest and cheapest way to do it. MFJ makes a 2m FM signal Analyzer, the mfj-224. A little pricey at 180 dollars but the manual says it has a output that goes to a scope to monitor. The top three google links for 'FM deviation meter' are the what I am refering to for the above. Hope this helps some. If you were on SSB, I would give it a try as we are only roughly 200 miles apart across Lake erie.
