[Elecraft] P3 USB Port

[Jim Sheldon]

Don's right, a hub will not work.  It is a very minimum implementation 
of a USB port and not expandable due to hardware limitations in the way 
they originally did things.  My work around was to find a multi-port, 
mechanical USB switch.  That way all you have to do is switch to 
whichever device you want attached, the Keyboard or USB Stick.  A mouse 
will not work though, at least as things stand now.
