[Elecraft] K3 Display (Was K2 display)

[Martin Sole]

I think the solution to that particular problem is called the TS590. 
Unfortunately it comes with some other compromises.
That said, I think a green display on the K3 would be awesome.

In a similar, slightly humorous vein I wanted to replace some dial lamps 
on an old Yaesu with LED's. I had some white LED's and some sandpaper so 
set to work creating a degree of diffusion. Happy with the result I did 
a couple more and put them in the rig. The horror show started straight 
away. The 'white' LED's were in fact multi-colour of the seizure 
inducing kind, I guess they must call them rainbow LED's they change 
colour fast, then slow, then flash all colours in rapid succession. 
Quite the impression but not quite the right effect.
