Well,,,, I use a 2nd radio to monitor 146.52 so I can use a fixed sign. However there are problems... I think the best option would be a LED sign, the sign would say "Monitoring" all the time and below it woudl be some LED digits, a 1 and a 4 (Fixed but switchable) and then an 7-segment 8, a dot and two more 7-segment 8's and optionally a (or another 7-segment 8)

That way you could turn it on/off as you wished. You could also do this with 146.52. Just lay it out using LED marker lights and dummy lights (Turn it on when on 52 and off otherwise (You use the dummy lights so that if it's off they see 888.88 and know it's off)
