Brian, have you been tipping the bottle a bit too much
lately???????????

Sorry Brian. Increasing the power density in the audio spectrum of a
NBFM signal will do jack for transmission range. Simply to put it, to
incease range, you need to increase carrier power. To put it simply,
at the reception end the NBFM signal needs to be 20 dB carrier to
noise ratio or about 12dB SINAD to obtain near full quieting.

All audio power does is increase deviation. Using a compressor on FM
just increase average deviation.
