The Christmas tree definitely gets more distorted on the display as the compression is increased. Just now as I adjust it up and down while speaking into a dummy load the compression is quite apparent as the control hits 13 and above with the MC-60 mic. I typically leave COMP at 10 so it's not quite as noticeable on the display. Sometimes on 75m I have RFI get into the MC-60 (I've done the mods which helped but not totally eliminated it). With the TX mon I see it right away if I have the audio monitor turned down too low as I can hear a motorboating sound when it happens. It's quite apparent on the display. Could I live without the TX monitor? Yes. Is it a nice station accessory? Yes. Is it on a par with having a quality scope or spectrum analyzer? No. Does a scope give continuous feedback on PEP forward power and SWR? No. Do I plan to sell it? No. 73, Nate N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
