[Elecraft] K1 3-digital display specs

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Andrew:

I'm working on a backlighting mod for the K1 and I just happen to have that 
info...

The K1 manual specifies it as a V.L. 
Electronics  VI-321-DP-RC-S-12  display. however that nomenclature is no 
longer totally accurate. The VL web site can be found at:

      http://www.varitronix.com/

Apparently, Varitronix is the parent company for V.L. Electronics and this 
is where the LCDs can be found.

The LCD currently sold by Elecraft for the K1 includes a 'transflective' 
polarizer which both reflects ambient light AND will allow for a 
rear-mounted backlight. In fact, I'm presently working on documenting a mod 
to add backlighting to the K1 LCD display. Watch for it.

73,
