So how do you dim the Flex Swoosh icon?

So in one of Gerald's messages he said the non M radios will have a swoosh icon you can dim.  I have been looking through the manuals and can't seem to find it. I am curious how this is done?

I am downgrading my 6600m to a 6600 and as far as I know that is the only thing different on the non M radio but I have found no documentation in the hardware references.

    Its found on the radio tab in radio setup, and it's called flex6600 backlight.

    OK so is a SmartSDR setting. It must only show up when you have a non M radio connected.

    Thanks Kevin.

    I think you just mount a picture of your pet to the front of the radio to dim the light ;)
    Or

    You can order the optional Swoosh Dimming Kit (SDK6K) for $125. Easy to install, its just a piece of duct tape that you stick on the radio it even has the flex radio logo on it. ;)

    Well that's going to be a problem as duct tape is outlawed in our house. The wife would try it fix everything with it if it wasn't :)

    I misspoke when I said the Dimming Kit was for sale, the duct tape is still in beta ;)

    I was looking for a big nasty potentiometer on the back.
    Nah, the swash is really purdy, I like it...

    I am not sure what I think about it yet. Will see it when gets here. I will likely tone it down a little or shut it off :)
