[K3] Screen Viewing Angle

[Joe Word]

I have a friends K3 borrowed (evaluating to possible purchase one) and
find with the bale up and the K3 setting on by desk the screen's
contract fades way down when I sit back in by chair.  For best viewing
I have to stand up and look down at it. If I look straight into it the
contrast is poor. The serial number is in the 1300 range, has there
been improvements with latter S/N versions?

Contrast is adjustable, as per manual...
LCD ADJ
LCD viewing angle and contrast. Use higher settings if the radio is used at or above eye level. If adjusted incorrectly, bar graphs will be too light or heavy during keying.

One of the best displays I've seen of it's type.

Perhaps adjusting the contrast is what is needed.  Check the manual for a
how-to-do

Have you tried adjusting the Main Menu option LCD ADJ? If not, give it a try along with LCD BRT and LED BRT.
