[Elecraft] Wireless Keyboard

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Some have incorrectly interpreted the email below to imply that we are 
adding mouse support to the P3. I believe W0EB was just referring to our 
upcoming official release for P3SVGA -keyboard- support, but since he 
mentioned that a mouse was part of his keyboard, some thought that mouse 
support is also included in our new P3 software.

Adding mouse support was not part of our original design and is a 
significant amount of work. At this time we are maxed out on other 
projects and are not planning on adding mouse support to the P3.

Via its front panel knob, the P3 does have excellent cursor control that 
can jump the K3 to the cursor's frequency by pressing the knob in 
lightly to activate its switch. Both VFO A and B can be independently 
controlled by the 'A' and 'B' cursors in the P3.

73,

Eric

> To whoever listed the Logitech 360 wireless keyboard as being compatible with the P3/SVGA board, THANKS!  Picked one up at the local Walmart this evening.  Plugged it in, pulled the battery tab as directed and it works just fine.  Had some problem with several wired Kb's being susceptible to even low levels of RF in the shack.  The Logitech hasn't shown any problems even with moderate SWR levels and 500 watts out.  This much output with anything over 1.5:1 SWR would lock up most other wired keyboards I had on hand.
