Default Becker Modified CDR Face Plates - Back and Better

I heard that Becker wasn't doing modified face plates any longer so I quickly sent one in to test this. It was a damaged one that I had bought for $15.

I spent $100 for the modified face plate and $15 for shipping and got the modified face plate back. I plugged it into the CDR 220 I have in the turbo and found that they now modify them with the original black background and orange digits instead of the old way with an orange background and black digits. It is visible an IMHO it looks better.

There may be a toggle setting on your unit for black background/orange display, or vice versa. There is on my TrafficPro.

I just received a modified face plate from Becker and have the same result as ChuckW - orange digits & black background. I am pleased with it. -- Dan

Good news indeed. They said in June they were working on an alternative. Thanks for the notice.
