There is a BIG difference between FM deviation and 
maximum modulating frequency (audio response).  I was 
speaking specifically to maximum modulating frequency. 

As Lyle has said elsewhere, the maximum modulating 
frequency in the K3 is limited to about 2.8 KHz - in 
all modes except ESSB - which results in an occupied 
bandwidth of about 15.5 KHz with 5 KHz of deviation 
for FM.
