As has been stated before, it is used by Elecraft for test purposes. There
was once a suggestion that an external keyboard might be able to plug in
there. But if that does ever happen, it probably isn't going to happen for a
very long time, and I can't see what it would offer that an Asus Eee PC (or
similar) couldn't do a lot better with a similar footprint and cost.
