Jim, I have both blue and red LEDs on my TR7 s-meter. Kind of works, but leaves a red "blush" on the meter that makes the blue look strange. "White" LEDs and blue filter didn't do so good for me either. The B-line has less issue with only the pointer being red.
I would be interested in hearing others' experiences in trying to recover the TR7 s-meter red with LED "bulb" replacements. 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Sat, 4/16/11, Jim Shorney <jshor...@inebraska.com> wrote: From: Jim Shorney <jshor...@inebraska.com> Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Drakelist Digest,RE: Blue Foil Filters To: "drakel...@.zerobeat.net" <drakelist@zerobeat.net> Date: Saturday, April 16, 2011, 12:04 PM On Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:14:53 -0400, Mike Williams wrote: > I changed my 4C and 7 line to >these LED kits and they look great, generate less heat and consume much less >power.

In retrospect, I may try retrofitting a small red LED to my creation to bring out the red highlights in the S-Meter. The monochromtic blue LEDs obliterate the red color completely. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
