Dave "Splatter" infers a signal wide enough to "spill over" to an adjacent channel. Indeed, your description of them hearing your xmtr 30 KHz away confirms that.
It is not an issue of duplexer tuning nor is it likely one of xmtr tuning. It is a matter of either over-deviating for one reason or another. How are you modulating the repeater's xmtr?
