I disagree, provided you are using the crossed ellipses of the MMTTY
tuning indicator or a real scope with the same. Once the ellipses are
crossed at 90 degrees and perfectly vertical/horizontal, whatever
prints is what should print. Even if it fades, it is still tuned
correctly. No audible signal needed. 

If you are tuning with those dreadful LEDs on many TNCs, yes you are
correct. Who knows what you have tuned in. Gotta use the right tool
for the job.
