Steve,

The wireless keyboards that I have used are rf keyboards.  I don't like the 
infrared ones because you must have a clear path to the infrared sensor on 
the computer.

Bob,

I do get some hash on HF from the wired keyboard.   A ferrite clamped on the
cable close to the keyboard keeps it to a minimum, but  I think I may try
the wireless setup  later this summer.

73 and tnx for your input, Steve KW3A
