The CTCSS deviation is directly tied to the transmit channel 
element IDC Control. If you set the CTCSS Deviation to the 
desired narrow band value the peak IDC setting should be very 
close* to the desired/target value. However, I don't depend 
on the IDC Circuit to hard limit my TX Deviation. 

*The exception to the above is that I (and most everyone 
else from what I see actually on the air) also don't use/set 
standard CTCSS or LTR Data Deviation values/levels.

Not really... unless you're up against some really busy adjacent 
channel activity.

But it's not a bad idea to do the narrow band RX IF Filters if 
you truly are going full-on narrow band.

If you have the standard MSR-2000 Receiver with the same IF 
Frequency as the Mitrek Mobile.

In the real world, yes it is that simple...

Yes, if you're not using any external repeater controllers.
