Hmmm ... don't know, but generally speaking anything monochrome works for me. Ansel Adams photos look great to me, monochrome TV is fine too. My wife tells me the P3 spectrum display background is deep blue, which is just barely distinguishable for me from the black WF background in monochrom

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 ce

Interesting. Would a straight monochrome spectrum take care of all of this? Al. W6LX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qt

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

Hi guys, It wouldn't be hard to add an option to change the color of the VFO A cursor. But I want to make sure I understand the problem. By the way, I also have typical male red-green color blindness but I have no trouble distinguishing the VFO A and VFO B cursors. There are several types

Technically, I can *see* all the colors ... I just can't name them. I suspected something was amiss when all the crayons in the box had different names and many looked the same to me. :-) I have a couple of friends with P3's who are "normies" and they use the monochrome WF too so it may not b

I have a similar, but different, problem. I see more colors than Fred, but I am red/green colorblind and my problem is telling the difference between the VFO A and VFO B cursors. So Fred's solution would work for me too. On 4 Jan 2015 03:12, Fred Jensen wrote: ALAN: Thank you for the monochr

ALAN: Thank you for the monochrome WF option. I don't want to get too greedy, and I may be the only Elecraft customer with this problem, but during a contest [like RTTY RU on now], my wife tells me the VFO A cursor is green. The spectrum in which it is embedded is yellow. They look similar
