[Elecraft] K3/100 or KX3 with all the options

[Erik Basilier]

Andrew, my suggestion of a future adjustment possibility was not based on
any hard information, and just like you, I would be interested in hearing
from Wayne and colleagues on this topic. At this point I have not run across
any kind of adjustability for the display, but my schedule is hectic and I
haven't necessarily noticed everything in the menu. Here is what I can say,
based on how the FT radio works for me today. Overall, the display contrast
is excellent. For straight on viewing, it still looks good, with
(subjectively rated) 90% contrast. Above the perpendicular the contrast
falls rather rapidly. For mobile operation I would think the mobile mount
that sits on a gooseneck would allow you to adjust the radio orientation for
perfect contrast.

Is the viewing angle adjustable?  Is so, by how much?

Is contrast adjustable? (or is that accomplished by changing the viewing
angle?)

While a "below the perpendicular" optimization works well for tabletop use,
I am concerned about mobile use - something I intend to do with the KX3.
 The rig would likely be mounted with the display perpendicular to line of
sight (i.e., "flat on" view) -- or even such that viewing is above the
perpendicular (like when the rig is sitting on the floor/console area).

the perpendicular direction rather than straight on
