Andrew, my suggestion of a future adjustment possibility was not based on any hard information, and just like you, I would be interested in hearing from Wayne and colleagues on this topic. At this point I have not run across any kind of adjustability for the display, but my schedule is hectic and I haven't necessarily noticed everything in the menu. Here is what I can say, based on how the FT radio works for me today. Overall, the display contrast is excellent. For straight on viewing, it still looks good, with (subjectively rated) 90% contrast. Above the perpendicular the contrast falls rather rapidly. For mobile operation I would think the mobile mount that sits on a gooseneck would allow you to adjust the radio orientation for perfect contrast.

Is so, by how much? Is contrast adjustable? (or is that accomplished by changing the viewing angle?) While a "below the perpendicular" optimization works well for tabletop use, I am concerned about mobile use - something I intend to do with the KX3. The rig would likely be mounted with the display perpendicular to line of sight (i.e., "flat on" view) -- or even such that viewing is above the perpendicular (like when the rig is sitting on the floor/console area). --Andrew, NV1B ..
