[Elecraft] K3 Display Question

[Alan Biocca]

Great, and good photo.

The thing is, on a radio of this type, the LED LCD backlight current 
draw is not that significant. (DSP's take some current, this is not a 
K2 in current draw). However, in sunlight (or flash camera) the 
transflective display remains viewable.
