[Elecraft] KX3 Display LEDs

[Matt Maguire]

Here a "mil" is ovbiously not referring to a millimetre, otherwise the LEDs are sticking up 5cm! So, I did a google search, and discovered that in the Imperial measurement system, it can also refer to one thousandth of an inch (0.0254mm).

That means 50 mils = 1.27mm, which makes much more sense. You learn something every day :-)

Google tells me that discovered a "mil" is actually an imperial measurement
