I'm less than thrilled with the direct sunlight readability of the display though. When I ordered the second EM-2 for my Kolb, I opted for the LCD screen. From speaking with Tracy, it sounds like the LCD is more readable in direct sunlight, but perhaps not as nice as the VFD at other times. I plan to take a look at the LCD display in comparison to the VFD, and decide which I like better, but this won't happen for at least a few weeks. If the LCD is that much more readable, I'll probably trade in my large VFD display for an LCD. =20 It looks like the Velocity has a roof of sorts, so direct sunlight might not be an issue with you. If not, then I'd go with the large VFD. =20 Cheers, Rusty (still leaking a bit, but temps up to 162 Oil, and 182 coolant) =20 =09 =09 =09 =09 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C54422.ACDAE772 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
