Sun in the wrong place? Very northern hemisphere. And while we're at
it, your view of the Moon is upside down.

I have installed a couple of radios in my cars (a Yaesu FTM-10
and an Icom 706). Both radio displays black out when I wear
polaroid sunglasses. (I have also noticed that the displays on
fuel station pumps black out.) It would be a good idea for
designers to consider sunglasses when designing

Solution . . .
Have your optometrist darken only the top half of your lenses. That's
what you see through anyway. The bottom is used when you look down.
He can also remove tint from the bottom of already darkened sun glasses.
Cheaper and quicker than redesigning displays (which would
I wonder if something's the matter with your glasses. In my experience,
radios, gas stations pumps, cel phones, c. are set up to be aligned
properly for viewing through polarized sunglasses.
I had a pair of sun glasses made where they got the polarization 90
degrees off. Other than that they
What happens if you take off your polarized sunglasses and turn them 90
degrees with respect to the display?

The same thing happens with my IC-7000. My next mobile rig is going to be
an Elecraft KX3 - I would bet there's less chance there! I hope, I hope, I

Please, not E-ink. It needs ambient light so if you are mobiling at night with
the lights out in your mobile vehicle then you will not see the e-ink display.
Also, e-ink is slow and in general, I think, the entire display must be updated
to change anything which makes it a hassle for display
Rotating the polarized sunglasses 90% makes them ineffective in suppressing
brilliant reflections and glare. I have never investigated how natural
sunlight gets polarized, but good quality polarized sunglasses have their
lens polarity set to be 90 degrees off and so block that glare.

Of course. The suggestion to use non-polarized was probably not serious.
Still, they do make a lot of screens go black: the local ATM and my car
radio are two

Hi Art,
I don't have a KX3 to test, but on my K3 the display blacks out when I
rotate my polaroid sunglasses through 45 degrees clockwise. It looks
fine with my head oriented anywhere near vertically. The K3 and KX3
displays appear to be very similar, perhaps even identical, so hopefully

Both Fred's tips are correct and worth
I think mine are correctly aligned. Light is polarized when it
reflects off certain flat surfaces such as water and asphalt.
When I test my glasses, it kills those reflections best when my
head is level.
I agree that E-Ink has some disadvantages. It will absolutely
need an external light for

Polarized glasses cannot reduce glare reflected from chrome, or any other smooth
