KX1 LED display

[VE3GAM Allen McRorie]

My display is almost impossible to see outdoors.  Can I do anything to make the
digits more visible outdoors during the day?

Al,

Not a lot you can do other than to devise some sort of shade to keep the
direct sunlight off the LED.  If it is not a frequent requirement,
shading it with your palm long enough to see the frequency may be enough.

Of course working in the shade is always more comfortable - at least at
my latitude.

Al,

Make sure you have the LED brightness set to maximum (6).

Also note that the KX1 can be operated entirely without the display. It
has a full CW audio interface, with programmable code speed. All
controls and menu entries can be used in this fashion.

See the "CFB" menu entry in the manual.
