[Elecraft] LCD display of K2 changing in LED display

[David G4DMP]

Hello Jean -
The problem with an LED display is that it takes much more current than
an LCD. When operating portable from batteries the total current is an
important factor.  With the LCD display in the K2 there is an option to
turn off the backlight to reduce the current even more.

The early calculators used an LED display but they ran the batteries
down very quickly which is why they almost all now use LCD.

Do order a K2, Jean. It is an excellent rig and you will find the LCD
display very clear indeed. You will have much fun building it.
