Fred, Thanks for the fascinating description of your monochromacy. I have never come across anyone with this, though did know the condition existed. As a photographer I am conscious of colours and had an amusing incident when I had a faulty iPad display where the colours were posterised in

I may be the only Elecraft customer with this problem, monochromacy is extremely rare [poor choice of both Mom and Dad :-)], but other forms of defective color vision are much more common, mainly in males and most hams are male. Consequently I'll reply to Alan on the list so everyone can help
