K3 LCD viewing angle

Gary Smith
Hi,

I find the brightness and contrast are much better when looking down
at the radio than straight on when it's elevated on the bail.
Increasing the brightness helps somewhat but when looking down at it
(flat on the table, sans bail) it's much too bright.

Is there some way to adjust the refraction from the LCD to match the
viewing angle?

Thanks

Gary

Ah, the other Gary :),

I have... read the entire manual, several times. Any time I spend $4K
on something, especially something I assemble; I read the manual.

I did, I think do the LCD ADJ and that increased the contrast but it
didn't as I recall change the diffraction. I will though go and check
that out again, I have... mis-read before.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The other Gary,
