All good points, Jeff.

One other thing I've noticed is that some people using Narrow FM mode might want to try normal deviation to sound better. The Narrow doesn't always help. There is no "one size fits all" on the Narrow/Wide FM debate for AO-85. Use what works best for your station. Some radios like the IC-9100 allow you to set Narrow for either the uplink or downlink separately.

I hear many stations with grossly distorted uplink audio on AO-85. A- Be sure your keps are up to date. B- use the newest doppler.sqf files C- use N.B. tx ,if your rig does not have It,back off the mic and reduce the mic gain while monitoring your down link for clean audio. D- it is possible to have crystal clear audio on AO-85 with a little fine tuning. Jeff ,WB8RJY
