Solution . . . Have your optometrist darken only the top half of your lenses. That's what you see through anyway. The bottom is used when you look down.
He can also remove tint from the bottom of already darkened sun glasses. Cheaper and quicker than redesigning displays (which would probably never happen anyway). I've operated mobile HF for years with half-darkened sun glasses without squinting and without instrument clusters or radio displays blacked out. Likewise for gas pumps. And . . . you're welcome. 73, Kent K9ZTV On 5/9/2012 12:05 PM, Bill Frantz wrote: > I have installed a couple of radios in my cars (a Yaesu FTM-10 > and an Icom 706).
