[Elecraft] SVGA brightness (K3)

[Alan Bloom]

To get the best contrast on the waterfall display set the REF LVL so 
that the noise level is right at the bottom of the spectrum display. 
And then adjust the SCALE to make the signals higher on the display. 
The waterfall and spectrum use the same REF LVL and SCALE values, so the 
more the SCALE is turned up the greater the contrast on the waterfall.

Even though signals seem relatively strong in spectrum display, they are not bright and are monochromatic in the waterfalls on both displays. Maybe that is just the way it is. I have tried adjusting SVGA bias (didn't see noticeable difference) and LCD brightness.
