Tom,

 You have to understand that a TX level meter would be measuring the
digital level to the FOB. This would NOT indicate that the FOB is actually
putting out audio. If there was no FOB there it would still indicate. So
its usefulness would be limited and its level indication would be
meaningless. Are you actually having audio problems? You can monitor the
audio with an amplifier out of the FOB or headphones without an amplifier.
