I added a question on rigctld comp meter for the FTDX101 as well, which 
does not appear covered.

The get level COMP just provided the proc setting and not the COMP meter.

In the end I used

msg.payload = "W RM3;\n";

with a string node and range node to get a COMP meter output on ssb TX


Everything above works via a rigctld server on windows.
