[Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

[W6NEK]

I don't know if your concerns are unfounded, but I have been using my P3 for 
years (since they were first introduced) and upon power-up I also experience 
a very brief (maybe 100-200 ms) display of bright white pixels then the 
normal panadapter display is shown. During all this time I have not noticed 
any degradation to the TFT display brightness or resolution. Neither have I 
notice any evidence of dead pixels. From my own experience, I am not 
concerned about the TFT display.
