Barry N1EU, regarding your comment about shape factor, I assume you know
about the K3 Context filter.
Yes Bill, and I look forward to seeing how it works. But the filter
slopes on the context filter are not adjustable either so we're
talking apples and oranges. If the firmware can support
Hi Dick and other contesters who might be potential buyers but who are
now concerned by Dick's post:
You said, but there are many parameters that need to be available
at-a-glance: both VFO frequencies, bandwidth, shift/PBT, RIT/XIT
power, vox, AGC, RF Gain, preamp, notch, NB, receive antenna
FWIW I am 99.9% sure that all these values will be available via the CAT
interface sooner or later.

Tnx, Joe. I seem to remember from my K2s that there was such a film, but
looking under a magnifying glass it the K3 LCD, I see no evidence of any
protective material. And of course the absence of any instructions to that
effect should be a clue!

Like most LCD's there is a plastic cover film added by the mfgr, but they
are removed in Aptos.
Looks like a note in the procedure to that effect might be in order G.

I removed mine (after I had assembled most of the front panel and had to

I was afraid it might start to bubble or discolor in the future and I didn't

whether or not the DISPLAY FRONT PANEL - is

whether we have to build that too?

Yes. In daylight/outdoor conditions you might want to use it with the
backlight off, and it will retain its high contrast. If you select

Is it possible to view the display in LCD fashion,

Don,
I am not certain what you mean by 'view the display in LCD fashion', BUT:
The LCD Backlighting intensity is adjustable - also the LED brightness
is also adjustable. Wayne demonstrated that several times at Dayton.

Great, and good photo.
The thing is, on a radio of this type, the LED LCD backlight current
draw is not that significant. (DSP's take some current, this is not a
K2 in current draw). However, in sunlight (or flash camera) the
transflective display remains viewable.
