The sun has finally come out in North Wales....
I was spending some time in the CQ-M contest with the shack door wide
open and the birds singing in the garden; eventually the sun came round
to shine straight into the shack and I found myself instinctively
leaning back to pull the door to shade the front panel of the K3. I've
never used a radio where direct sunlight doesn't turn the LCD pretty
well invisible and certainly my previous rig, a FT990 was no exception;
so I was amazed to find the K3's display was completely unaffected and
if anything seemed clearer than in normal lighting conditions. The
orange background disappeared but the legends were razor sharp and
distinct, so I could just sit there enjoying the sun and warmth on my
knees while continuing to operate; thinking of buying a kite now and
going /portable on the beach :-).
I've had this radio for nearly 6 months now and I'm still being
surprised and delighted by it......
