Fred,

Thanks for the fascinating description of your monochromacy. 

I have never come across anyone with this, though did know the condition 
existed.

As a photographer I am conscious of colours and had an amusing incident when I 
had a faulty iPad display where the colours were posterised in certain shades 
of yellow and took it back to the shop to get it replaced under warranty. The 
young gentleman that looked at it declared he could not see anything wrong with 
it when I compared the same photo on the faulty one with another in the shop. I 
almost gave up then asked if I could get a female assistant to have a look and 
she immediately saw what I was complaining about. Of course being male he 
suffered from colour blindness of some kind and didn't realise it until then.

It occurred to me as I wrote that, I assume that like the days of monochrome 
film photography when we used yellow colour filters to emphasise the contrast 
of things like clouds and blue sky, that you will be see similar effects if you 
place different colour filters in front of the colour display of the waterfall 
on the P3 with your monochrome vision?

Glad that Elecraft are able to do something to make the P3 as useable as 
possible for those with similar conditions.
