Being that I work in film and video, I should point out that if you want to knock down the brightness of the display to varying levels, cutting a sheet of Neutral Density (ND) to cover the display should work well:

[Are there any repeaters near Washington, DC?]

I am about 30 miles SW of DC.  I can easily hit Alexandria, Frederick, Warrenton, and another unlisted repeater about 30 W of DC that's on the same freq with the same tones as a repeater near by in Baltimore (which was confusing me for a while), all with a handheld.   I think you could hit all the same ones from Alexandria.

That one 30 miles SW of DC is the one I heard tonight. Someone on it said it was located In Gainesville/Bull Run area.

VERY strong signal here in Sterling, VA.

[Just heard very strong signal on GMRS repeater 19 (Northern Virginia)]

VERY strong and clear signal. At first I thought it might be the one in Ellicott City MD, but then the main guy said it was in Gainesville Va/Bull Run.

He also said he has hit it as far south as Fredericksburg.

As I listened more there was even a faint contact from BALTIMORE.

I am in Sterling , Va and was listening on a KG-805G.

I did not see it listed on the map.
