Guys, Thanks for the comments. Hopefully I'll get some more time to work with it over the holiday and get it up on site. A friend has another MSF-5000 with the same high 900 Hz PL deviation, he's going to look at a resistor change or pot addition experiment. Ralph W4XE

It's a fixed percentage of the total deviation. It is very clean however, so even though it might measure rather high, it'll be quite inaudible. You'd have to add a resistor somewhere to lower just the PL level. Make sure you measure and set the deviation with the PL turned on. Your total deviation should be set for 4.5 to 5.0 kHz; it will be less without PL. I haven't seen a spec on the PL/DPL deviation in any MSF manual either. Bob M.
