What some repeater owners don't take into consideration is the accumulated effect of all audio going out on the transmitter. You may find that testing with a single tone, or maybe voice peaks, will give you a good reading. Voice+PL tone+the repeater voice ID can drive the deviation well beyond 5Khz or 6Khz on some repeaters. It's accumulative. A limiter really needs to be used, but some homebrew repeaters don't have this.
