Those are only of concern if you really want TSL.  Granted, a mod monitor is
convenient for all of the above, but it can be done other ways.  Certainly,
having stereo and SCA monitors enables you to check and tweak the injection
levels without having to shut down everything else.  That's convenient.
But, how often do you have to do that?  Can it be done during a maintenance
period right after you get through cleaning out the transmitter?

BTW, for anyone who really, really wants a mod monitor, KWXY does have a
McMartin FM monitor set (including SCA) and a couple of Belar SCA monitors
for sale.  Cheap.
