Re: K3 vs Yaesu FT-450AT

[Dave, G4AON]

Not all displays are created equal... Can the "attractive" displays be read in direct sunlight?

I have a TS-480 and the yellow/orange/black display is very pleasant and can be read in any lighting.

... Also waiting on K3

Must be a fire sale on these displays.  They are
not attractive IMHO.  Kenwood has had their
share of these displays too.  Look at the display
on the IC-7000 - at least it is attractive, if
small.

The K3 has a transflective LCD, so it has high contrast even in direct
sunlight.

The IC7000 display would pretty much blank out due
to the sun at Scarborough Reef..... The display itself
was not all that attractive to me.  I longed for my K2
and wished the K3 could have been there.
