Rich wins the prize this time. Deviation meter does indeed show you how far the station is deviating from center. Less deviation generally = lower distortion but lower overall audio level. Hence, we compress and limit the signal.
Eldartford: Nice try, but center tuned is almost never the best spot. I've seen one tuner--ONE!--where center tuner was actually the best spot. The rest were all out of alignment.
