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.
