I have to wonder how you can know this is a signal passing out of the passband as opposed to talkdown (what the OP was asking about). Both would sound virtually identical. While I agree deviation should be checked, I wouldn't go so far as to rule out either cause based on the description. Joe

Ian, I suspect that the problem is talk off caused by overdeviation of the mike audio. When the CTCSS tone is mixed with the mike audio prior to the deviation limiter stage, an excessive voice signal will be hard limited along with the CTCSS tone, causing a distorted signal. This problem occurs
