[Elecraft] K1 display alternatives?

Wed Feb 11 02:17:01 2004

Hardly envious! I for one do NOT want a back lit display in my K1. Draws
considerably more current and I don't want to use the internal batteries for
this. I prefer to wear a Diamond 4 LED headlamp while working in the field
at night. One set of 3 AAA cells lasts me an entire season of camping, and
doesn't take any power from the K1's power source. It's plenty bright enough
to read the display comfortably and also take notes on a small notepad. Plus
I get 4 bands...now who's envious ;-)
