Hi Jerry, In the OTHERS/DISP menu, try reducing LCD Contrast, increasing LCD Brightness and adjusting Horizon. This will make the red TX Marker line stand out more visibly.

Is there any way to make it brighter? 73, Jerry K3BZ =========================================================================== Jerry - You have played with the brightness and contrast? Mine is set at 69% and 60% respectively. I've no other ideas. Wish it could be yellow...... 73, Mike NF4L =========================================================================== Adam, that's BRILLIANT !! Many thanks!! While we're on the display, what would be a reasonable expectation of lifespan for the display? Do we know what factors and adjustments might reduce the life span of the display? 73, Jerry K3BZ =========================================================================== Mike...Based on advice I received, I lowered contrast to 45%, increased brightness to 73%, and adjusted horizon to 3. It's not as bright as I'd like but it's way better than what it was, and certainly good enough for me.... Try playing with different setting combos, see if it gives you what you want. But alas, no yellow 8^) 73, Jerry K3BZ =========================================================================== Hi Jerry, You are too kind! Glad my suggestion was helpful. The TFT display in the IC-756Pro series should last for many years. I have never seen a TFT go bad on a laptop computer. The CCFL backlight lamp could fail suddenly, but it is not too difficult to replace. I have seen very few reports of display failure on the 756Pro, pro2 or Pro3 reflectors.
