[Elecraft] KX3 Backlight color will remain amber

Also, human vision has the lowest acuity in the red region. That is, we see
less detail in red illumination.

FYI, if you're going to do as Wayne suggests and just turn the display off
aiming a light at it (saving battery drain also) red is NOT the color that
best enhances night vision if that matters to you. It's actually a shade of
green often referred to as "traffic light green" or if you think of what's
seen through night-vision devices. Red is (unfortunately) a hold-over/myth
from the old photographic darkroom days. Find a nice little LED light with a
green shade you can hang in your tent or from a limb or whatever. Happy
trails.
