[Elecraft] P3 point and click with mouse

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Mike,

Your question is interesting. If you're in a contest you must be using a
contest program. Do you want another program running on the PC that would
require you to leave the confines of your contest program? I think not. 

You would probably want the contest program to have a direct tie-in to the
P3 over the existing K3/P3 serial link. Something like holding the shift key
causes the mouse to talk to the P3. Releasing the shift key returns control
to the contest program. That could be interesting but would involve the
contest program developer(s). 

I suppose the alternative is a corded or wireless USB mouse connected
directly to the back of the P3. Then you would have two mice on your desk
which is probably even less desirable during the heat of a contest (unless
you're ambidextrous). 

73,
