I must confess that when I replied to Dave about changing the W1 LED's I inadvertently sent my message to the list. I didn't intend to do so, but it looks like there's a LOT of interest in changing the LED colors used in the W1's SWR display.
I had ordered a W1 and asked Scott to add the yellow and green LED's to my order, which he did. I was on the phone with him while he was looking into the stock bins and he has my thanks for the trouble he took. Another example of the attitude of the Aptos folks. As Scott pointed out, there would be a good bit of behind-the scenes work to make the SWR display in all production kits a three-color display. Lots of documentation to change and verify, etc. I'm sure the designer of the W1 could answer the questions about the brightness of the three colors. Perhaps, if/when there's time someone at Aptos can tell us if such a change might be in the future. Maybe a "Mod" kit would meet the needs of those of us who want to make the change, even if -all- the SWR LED's need to be changed to achieve equal brightness in the row. I expect the Aptos stockroom has all colors needed, but perhaps it's unrealistic to make up change kits and bill them out. In reality, probably not worth the effort. On the other hand, for those of us in the outback, the only alternative is a supply house with a likely minimum order fee that's far beyond the LED cost. 73!
