That's the problem. Nothing/nobody delivers what it/they're

I second the service monitor check and further suggest that one have the

While 1K of PL deviation is high it should be decoded unless the radio has

I believe the Motorola standard is 750 Hz for deviation on PL for MICORS.

The TIA-recommended standard deviation for CTCSS is 500 Hz on a 16K0F3E or
20K0F3E emission. Most CTCSS decoders can reliably detect tone deviated as
low as 100 Hz. Any deviation greater than 500 Hz can be considered
excessive.
