[Elecraft] Radio Displays

[Richard Ferch]

Hi Art,

I don't have a KX3 to test, but on my K3 the display blacks out when I 
rotate my polaroid sunglasses through 45 degrees clockwise. It looks 
fine with my head oriented anywhere near vertically. The K3 and KX3 
displays appear to be very similar, perhaps even identical, so hopefully 
that's a good omen.

Interestingly (or perhaps not so interestingly), my laptop screen blacks 
out when my sunglasses are rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise, i.e. in 
the opposite direction. The two desktop monitors I checked both black 
out when the sunglasses are rotated through 90 degrees.

73,
Rich VE3KI
