You are transmitting FM on the 2 metre band. Several stations advise you that your transmission is distorted. A quick check with a frequency counter tells you that the transmitter is on the proper frequency. Which of the following is the most probable cause of the distortion?

Correct Answer
A.
The frequency deviation of your transmitter is set too high
B.
The power supply output voltage is low
C.
The repeater is reversing your sidebands
D.
The frequency counter is giving an incorrect reading and you are indeed off frequency
