It's a voice unit, set to 3kHz average deviation, IOW it's roughly as loud as a user's voice. >>Another thing to look at, if you tweaked the PA, is to make certain >>that your PA >>is not generating any spurious signals.

That's a thought, but then I should pick it up on my radio, sitting near the repeater. >>Finally, is it certain that your repeater and the complainers' >>radios are exactly >>on frequency?

Well, I know the repeater was set to a calibrated SM within the last couple months. The user's radios were last calibrated in Japan. Yahoo!
