Quite a number of years ago, I knew of an FCC inspection of a
repeater site in southern California - apparently the inspector
didn't know what he was looking at.
As the story went, he removed the output of the exciter to
measure the RF power there ... The exciter consisted of a rack
mounted Motorola U44BBT.
I don't remember the rest of the story but the system owner got
cited for excessive deviation - was running +/- 10 kHz or so.
This was in the amateur band ... before most of the systems had
gone to +/- 5 kHz.
