OK, I just jumped on the RCI bandwagon and ordered a 2950 (I still say my 5010 will run circles around it - guess I'll find out shortly). I just learned that the channel display comes in green now. Anyone change the color of their display? Is it a matter of changing the LEDs or bulb boots or what? |

Where's a good place to order these type of bulbs that are the proper voltage? Radio shack bores me anymore and never has the right bulbs in stock for my 2950!!! |

If your ordering the dx version, you will see the prety green lights...
When it comes to changeing the color of the lights ,just change the boots.... i even know of some people that wanted the boots tooken off so the bulbs will have a longer life because they don't warm up as much... thats not to bad looking either... when it comes to the dx radio.. i have not changed the lights as of yet, but it LOOOOOOOKS like it is all back lit.......and no bulbs |

Try replacing them with 6v blue LEDs. I did this to my older 2950 and it looks COOL! You just have to mind the polarity or they will not work. I like the green of the new DX models but what is even better is the frequency coverage you can get out of these puppies! |

Not bad...but The 2950dx will cover 18MHz to 36MHZ! All without any heavy modifications...I just love spreading the word of the Dx line:-) |

Harder yet, try to find UV LEDs. They act just like "blacklights" and make different things GLOW. Plus they add that purple glow to your car's interior. |

UV and blue LEDs are at All Electronics www.allelectronics.com
I'm pretty sure they'll ship to Canada.
