[Elecraft] First QSOs using PX3 with keyboard

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

This afternoon I installed an early version of the PX3 firmware with full keyboard support. Works great with a Logitech K360 wireless keyboard (a real steal at $19). I made a few QSOs in both CW and RTTY mode (FSK-D on the KX3) to check things out. 

The PX3 won't work with just any USB keyboard. For example, those that include other built-in USB devices such as trackpads will not work with this implementation. So I strongly recommend not purchasing one until we provide a list of those we've tested. 

There are a still a few wrinkles to work out, but it is most definitely a nice addition to the PX3. We'll be looking for a few testers when the next version is ready (please wait for the announcement before you volunteer :)
