[Elecraft] KX3 feature request: LCD contrast menu setting

Hello folks!

I noticed when using the KX3 portable with the backlight disabled the LC 
display becomes hard to read at certain lower viewing angles.

It would be nice if there would be a LCD contrast setting in the menu 
that lets the user control the contrast setting at his preferred viewing 
angle.

I have had a look at the schematic and it seems the contrast is set via 
an anlog output of the MCU. It should not be too hard to implement such 
a feature in one of the next MCU firmware releases...

Many thanks!

Sven, DJ2AT
