Re: [Elecraft] PX3: Use outside in bright sunlight

Part way down my blog post you can see a picture of my PX3 outside in Lassen NP 
during the ARRL 2016 NPOTA event.

Amazingly visible!!

Our club has its summer picnic during the NAQP SSB contest. We 
set up a radio with the logging laptop inside a 15"-20" deep 
cardboard box on a picnic table in the full August sun. We don't 
have significant issues reading the laptop screen.

Typical LCD laptops screens are unusable in bright light so 
wonder about the PX3.  Not interested in the P3 for my K3, just 
the PX3.

Re: [Elecraft] PX3: Use outside in bright sunlight

[Brian Waterworth]

I use my PX3 on a sailboat in a go-kit and frequently sit out in the
cockpit with the PX3-KX3 and a Raspberry PI 7" touch screen (and RPI of
course).  I do have to turn-up the PX3 LCD brightness pretty high though.
But the PX3 can get bright enough for me.  It does consume more power of
course.

regards,

[Elecraft] PX3: Use outside in bright sunlight

[Edward R Cole]

I've wondered how well the PX3 screen displays in bright sunlight.  I 
Use my KX3-2M as IF for my portable 10-GHz station and display of 
spectrum would be handy for finding mw signals.  But this is activity 
on a high hill or mountain or lake/oceanside location (not in a 
darkened vehicle or your home).


Typical LCD laptops screens are unusable in bright light so wonder 
about the PX3.  Not interested in the P3 for my K3, just the PX3.
