Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display - Outdoors
Hi Robie, All of our transceivers, including the K3 and K3S, use a custom transflective LCD with high-contrast, easy to read segments. At night you can use the backlight. But they're also visible in even the most intense directly sunlight. You’ll have no trouble with visibility. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Jun 11, 2018, at 3:15 PM, Robie Elms wrote: > > All, > > I am planning some outdoor operation.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Display - Outdoors
When we operate radios on a picnic table in the sun, we put the radio in a cardboard box to provide shade. It seems to work well. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/11/18 at 3:15 PM, rule...@gmail.com (Robie Elms) wrote: I am planning some outdoor operation. How visible is the K3 display outside in the sun?

[Elecraft] K3 Display - Outdoors
All, I am planning some outdoor operation. How visible is the K3 display outside in the sun? Any suggestions for improving visibility?
