Hooray! It is very annoying to sit in a campsite with plenty of battery power available and have to keep flicking on my red flashlight to see the display.
However, I'm not clear what you are saying. Are you saying you are working on a mod to backlight the NEW K1 LCD that allows backlighting or is the mode to backlight the older LCD display? And that brings up the question: Can the new K1 LCD be retrofitted to earlier K1's?

The K1 manual specifies it as a V.L. Electronics VI-321-DP-RC-S-12 display. however that nomenclature is no longer totally accurate. The VL web site can be found at: http://www.varitronix.com/ Apparently, Varitronix is the parent company for V.L. Electronics and this is where the LCDs can be found. The LCD currently sold by Elecraft for the K1 includes a 'transflective' polarizer which both reflects ambient light AND will allow for a rear-mounted backlight. In fact, I'm presently working on documenting a mod to add backlighting to the K1 LCD display. Watch for it. 73, Tom N0SS At 12:43 PM 4/28/05, you wrote: >I'm trying to find specifications on the 3 digital LCD used on the >Elecraft K1, since I'm working on a custom application that involves >changing it over to a 3 digital LED. > >Can someone provide the manufacturer and model information on this >display so I can locate the specs? > >Thanks, >--Andrew, NV1B > > >_______________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: [email protected] >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.
