Todays do not give you the annoying clicks when  overmodulating...so you can 
more easily ignore the warning lights.   

With today's processing and transmitters you over modulate  intentionally or 
you 
dont over modulate. That flashing LED is merely a  confidence monitor :-)

Also there is no one at the transmitter to hear the clicks.  I worked  a 
night shift at a station while in college and would switch the mod monitor to  
positive peaks, we always had more positives with our RCA STA-MAX  clipper.   If 
I dozed off and the clicks went away,  I was amazed  at how quickly I woke up. 
Many times before the fone would ring from the  studios.  Later on when I 
worked a day & night job,  I just moved  the EBS receiver to my channel for a nap 
 with one eye on all the  meters.
