[Elecraft] KX-3 Dimmer

[Andrew Moore]

I found the same as you with the bright OFS/B LEDs.

This may sound cheesy, but the best fix for the LEDs might be to simply cut
out a small circle of adhesive-backed semi-transparent filter material and
stick it on. I think I've seen an Avery-type label that would be perfect
(downside: you have to buy a bunch of labels). It might diffuse the light
nicely too.

The punch for punching paper to go in a 3-ring binder could do a clean job
on the circle and should be just right for size.

(I wouldn't want to touch the main display screen though)
