I am talking about an LED breast pocket flashlight, not the LED built into
the KX1...Unless Elecraft has made a change since last week, the LED in the
KX1 is white, not red and is intended for log keeping in the dark away from
the QTH...

The LED penlight is listed on page 456 in Stanley Supply's catalog and
comes in 2 body colors, black or gold...It is available in 3 LED colors,
white, blue, or red...Mine is white and it's part number is 434-018 priced
at $19.95...When it is shined on installed capacitors and resistors in the
radio, the numbers and colors fly out at you...
