Glare is the biggest problem. Since I live in TN I will try and extend out it some more as Rodiron suggested. Wearing black is not an option here. I am thinking about a screen protector that removes glare. I will try the inverse colors. I appreciate all of the help. I spent the weekend learning my new HDS 12 and comparing it to the 998. I actually like both of them. HB needs to improve their next product. I really wish I had bought the 1198. I was trying to save a few bucks. That is the reason I went all in on the HDS 12 touch.
