I strongly concur w/ Bill's advice about getting a special pair of glasses. In my case, as a programmer, I spend all day in front of the computer. I have three monitors arranged in front of me, and I found that bi-focals definitely had a 'sweet spot' and I was always turning my head or looking up/down to see the screens within that sweet spot. I asked the eye doc to give me a prescription for single focal length glasses optimized for viewing a monitor 27" away. There is no 'sweet spot' and while looking at the center (primary) monitor directly in front of me, I can shift my eyes to the left or right to see the other two monitors without turning my head. I've had these glasses for about 5 years now, and they work perfectly.
Also, in my case, the K-Line is arrayed on the desktop immediately below the three monitors, and the central monitor (Samsung) has a front-panel switch that allows me to toggle it between the computer and the P3SVGA output. Side comment: I seem to be in the minority w/ regard to positioning of a radio, in that it *must* be on the desktop and not tilted or elevated (with the exception of the P3). I like having my arm and hand resting on the table top as I tune the radio. Having to tilt my hand upward to tune a knob that is up in the air, or worse yet, rest my arm on my elbow while trying to tune a radio on a shelf is just plain wrong ;-) I bought a KX3 a few weeks ago and love the radio, but am struggling with the operating angle. It'll be fine for the field, but I need to cobble together some kind of stand for using it on the desktop. 73, Dale WA8SRA ... > Do NOT look up at monitors - it will > screw your neck up after a while.
