There does not seem to be a voice bandwidth for hams on the two meter band.
Atleast not as narrow as 5 kc deviation. It is a known fact that it is
difficult to seperate stations by 15 khz and not have problems with close
stations. Not sure how much deviation other receivers will take but the
Mastr ll specifices an acceptance of +- 7Khz. This makes the receiver
somewhat wide for 15 khz spacing.
Some of the worse offenders I have seen are the Icom 706 rigs. Seems that
if most set it for the low bands in ssb when switched to VHF FM the thing is
very much overdeviated.
