6600M6400M screen saver

WX7Y

When we run SmartSDR on a 6400M or 6600M is there a way to add a screen saver to the M Radio display?
No reason for the screen to be left on when used in server mode (SmartSDR, IOS SmartSDR or External Maestro), Just kind of irritating to have it on all the time, makes a way to bright night light. 

If one could be added could just have the screen come back on when it is touched. 

Thanks a lot

Funny, I was thinking the exact same this this morning about this topic!!! Lets see what Flex thinks!!!!

I avoid the whole issue by using a stylus of the type used with smart phones - much more accurate than a finger tip, and has no oils :-)

Yes, an option to just turn if off (and perhaps make it last longer while not being used) would also be a nice enhancement. Perhaps in can turn on by touching it? Bret, I do see your point for sure! I am glad you started the conversation about this.

But for those of us who split our time remote and local, I feel the OFF feature for remote users and the some more useful info for local users would be a pretty cool feature and would make both camps happy. In my case, I am in both camps.

An other idea just hit my file playing around with the HRD software. Why not have a greyline map on the M series displays when not really used (as in controlled via a PC)? This would not only look REALLY good but also be very useful and other info such as what I mentioned above could still be displayed in the corner, etc. This would really differentiate the product and draw in folks at trades hows too. I know I would love this! It would NOT be hard to implement actually. Could even write something to toggle grid zones (HRD has this) or CQ zones on it but now I am pushing it...I am curious to see if others would like to see this feature. It be nice to have it in front of me as an extra screen at times.

I use Flex Radio 6400M.
There is a burn-in phenomenon on its monitor and a phenomenon of left and right lines. I want to know the specifications of the touch monitor used in this model's product.

If possible, I would like to purchase parts with the same specifications as the monitor and replace them in Korea.

Please let me know if any of you who read this know the model.

It will help me a lot.

Thank you.

Hello, This is sad because I just purchased a pre-loved 6600M less than a month ago with screen burn-in. The display and Power Management settings were turned up to maximum this is how it was sent to me. I turned them down to a quarter and I still notice a little the ghost and the end of the day. That alone will effect the resale value of my radio. The 6400M I sold to buy this one didn't have this issue! :-(
