I have low vision.
The absolute worst thing you could do is to change the K3S display.
I need high contrast either a black background and light text or a light
background and dark text. The K3S's background is light yellow and it
has black text.
Color displays sure are pretty but normal size text and characters wash
out. I have special software on this computer that magnifies the screen
so I can read it. I also run a high contrast theme.

And now for something completely different (regarding K3/P3 displays):
Since I rarely look at the radio display when operating, I don’t need/want
fancy colors/fonts/graphics. All I need is Info that is easy to read when I
need it. Same for the P3. Give me what I need with a minimum of fuss. Also
easy to focus on after many hours without sleep.
And please: no touch screens. The last thing I need is a bunch of greasy
fingerprints all over the display. And I need my hands to stay on the
keyboard(s). Minimal motion and all that stuff.
And the same can be said for P3 mouse point and click. This is radio, not a
video game.
And now back to your regular conversation…. ;^)

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display is Dated...
Besides my K3 & P3, I also have an Icom IC-7300. The touch color display of
the IC-7300 is essentially the same size as the P3 and I think the P3 is a little
tiny bit larger of maybe 1/8th inch larger diagonal measure. The information on
the IC-7300 is basically the same as the combo of the K3 and P3 although different
display options (mostly on the 7300) makes this a dubious comparison.
But, I think that the entire P3 display could be used as a full K3+P3 display
however I am betting that all the information necessary to drive the K3 display
is not available to the P3 and not practical to create an interface to handle
it.
My two-bits on the matter.

I was turning the knob on a K3S at Dayton and thought to myself...this looks
like the display on my 10 year old Kenwood TS-570D. Come to think of it maybe
Kenwood needs to update the displays on most of there radios too.

I was wondering if the K3 display could be replaced by an updated display,
one that looks like the ones on the newest rigs from Japan. Could it be
displayed on the monitor connected to the svga on P3? Just wondering :)
