Hello Paul:
The brightness of the P3's internal LCD display is set by going to MENU:LCD
BRT. The brightness of the external monitor is set by the monitor's own
controls. The manual doesn't cover the external monitor because they vary
with each monitor. See you monitor's manual for that adjustment.

Your monitor should have brightness and contrast controls. You
should use those to adjust the SVGA brightness and contrast, as you

A vertical dipole can be balanced with the lower element shorter. It will have
