Another problem with using a standard NBFM RX to measure deviation is the IF filters, which chop off a portion of the received signal. I was able to modify an old Regency scanner for deviation measurement by removing the 455 kHz IF filter & adding a resistive load across the discriminator coil. The former mod allows almost all of the received signal through the IF to the discriminator, & the resistor across the discriminator broadens the frequency response (though audio output is reduced somewhat).
