You don't need a "modulation monitor" but you do need to have a method
of determining your modulation.
Modern processors do a good job of keeping the modulation consistent and
limiting at their set point, but you need something to determine that
you have them set correctly. If caught in violation, without a means to
determine modulation not only could you be written up for the over
modulation, you can add unable to determine modulation. 73.1350(c)
