Your problems appear to be both in the repeater & the users:
-Your repeater's peak deviation should NEVER exceed 5 kHz. Period. If it
does, either the deviation limiting control is not adjusted correctly or
the limiter is not working properly. See my prior post on this subject for
instructions on how to set up your TX audio.
-Your users' deviations vary widely. Your options in this area are
1. Get your users to adjust their deviations to 4-5 kHz peak deviation.
2. Increase your TX audio to achieve greater that 1:1 input to output
deviation ratio (note that this will cause your 5 kHz deviation users to
sound distorted as their audio gets clipped in your repeater TX).
3. Get a CBS Volumax or Orban broadcast audio processor for your TX
audio. We use the latter for space shuttle audio over our repeater & it
really improves intelligibility.
