Cookie, I can see the "dAY" display pretty well with my normal indoor operating position lighting, but the LEDs at this setting are irritatingly bright.
Sometimes during the day I have the rig on, just scanning a band or listening to a SWBC station while I'm doing something else around the shack; don't really need the display on then anyway. The ma difference as shown on the K3 between LCD Brt "2" and "dAY" is about 70 ma. (No, I'm not a global warmist or anything... far from it. Just thought it was interesting...) 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:48:30 -0700 (PDT), Willis 'Cookie' Cooke wrote: > >Now I see what you are talking about Drew.
