[chirp_users] TSQL / CTCSS

[Nigel Johnson]

It depends on the age of the person you are talking to.  When I first
got into 2m FM 48 years ago, Wide was 15kHz deviation and barrow was 5kHz!

When you get down below 3kHz you are losing the FM effect.

There is no way we should be using the new narrow - our bands are barely
occupied now, therefore no need for squeezing more in. Most of the
repeaters I know if in my city have filters for 16F3 acceptance.
(Carson's rule: 5 kHz deviation plus 3 kHz audio times 2)

When you get people using the new barrow on a repeater with 16F3
acceptance, there is a marked difference in audio level and susceptance
to noise. It is difficult to listen to a multi-way QSO without riding
the volume control up and down, and some of the people I hear on the
repeater are so low that I can barely hear them when I have it turned
all teh way up wit mobile noise.
