I use 2600Hz at 13 WPM, because my ID'er is sending the PL tone
information. 2600Hz because the repeater is a literal hack between two
GE Rangrs, a 2N2222, and an ID-8. And since I used it to test the
deviation, it's around 2.5KHz, as the radio max deviation is set to
about 3.0KHz.
Turns out the GE-Rangr will accept about 20KHz of input audio before it
ceases to copy the PL and turns off the reciever. =)
