Well If you know your test set is not lyng to you then I wouldnt worry about it.
You can always do the direct O/P test with them to show you are not soft on audio if they are in range.

Also maybe they are really complaining about people using Baofengs which are notorious for low tx audio.

Does anyone on this list have problems with people saying the level sounds a bit soft on their repeater? I set mine using the "preferred method" with a calibrated servicr monitor, outlined on the allstar page. Basically 3khz in 3khz out. All of the repeaters I setup I can change channels on my radio and the levels are equal and sound right to me. I run my radio at half volume. The people complaining about my levels are basing this on what they hear by ear in their car and compare me to to repeaters that were set up by people using their ear and not test gear.

I'm basically holding the line and reluctant to budge, but maybe I'm missing something, such as is using that method for setup a little stingey on the level? I'm confident I'm setup right, but I'm scratching my head on the comments.
