LED lights too dim on VNA2180

[missouri]

Hi guys/gals,

I use my VNA2180 outside a lot. Is there a way to increase the brightness of the LED's? They are very hard to see if they are on/off even in shade.

The resistors for the RED LED's are R91 and R92 on the top of the board near the LED's. They could be paralleled with 1K ohm chips to increase the brightness somewhat.
The Green LED resistor is on the back side of the board and it would be very difficult to access.

I suggest using a sun shield or maybe putting black tape on the panel around the LED's to increase the contrast.
