I've got an ATN X-Sight 4K Pro 3-14 with some questions and thoughts on improvements.
Top question is how do you turn OFF the bluetooth ?
The manual makes it sound like it is possible to turn it off, but on the spot on the menu where it is supposed to be, I cannot select anything but the WiFi and turn that on and off.
The bluetooth being on gives me ringing ears and hurts my eyes. If that sounds weird to you, look up Martin Pall Ph.D. and his discovery that wireless RF such as cell phones causes calcium storms into cells that trigger major levels of peroxynitrite oxidative damage to cells at one seven millionth the US safety standards for RF power. Yeah, it's not as bad as what operating cell phones and WiFi do to me, but I still want to turn it off.
Given the impending war, it would also be better to be able to be radio silent even for those of you who are not EHS (electrohypersensitive -- look it up, it is a real word). My RF detection equipment can pick up a signal from that bluetooth interface many meters away and I'm sure it is the ATN scope because I'm in an RF quiet area that is at detector noise floor otherwise if the scope is off. The WiFi is much worse, by the way.
If I can get this solved, I might get one of the ATN thermal scopes.
One thought on an improvement is that ATN should offer a "Red mode" where the user's ambient night vision is preserved better by using shades of red on the display instead of white that contains the blue frequencies that activate melanopsin and causes the body to contract the irises as if it is daytime. This would really help people in the dark based upon how long it takes people's eyes to adjust to non-red light such as astronomers are aware.
