Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display (Was K2 display)
Why keep asking the same question? The answer is always “No”.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display (Was K2 display)
I suggest to one other to visit the local auto window tint place. Get a scrap of light green window tint, cut it to size and put it on the plastic overlay for the display. Or if you know someone in the performance theater circles, get a piece of light gel which they use on spots. Easy to put on and easy to remove if you don't care for it. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 7/1/2018 7:09 PM, Martin Sole wrote: I think the solution to that particular problem is called the TS590.
