What can you do if you are told your FM handheld or mobile transceiver is over-deviating?

Answer: D. Talk farther away from the microphone

Over-deviation means your FM signal swings too wide, usually because your voice is too loud at the microphone. Moving the microphone farther away lowers the audio level and reduces deviation. Talking louder would make it worse.

Tip: Over-deviating? Back away from the mic.
