Ed,
I just picked up a Logitech 2.4 ghz wireless keyboard a few weeks ago.
All is working fine running high power on HF. The wired keyboard was
giving me fits on 15 meters. PC would lock up, sticking radio and amp
in transmit. Ferrites on the keyboard cable resolved most of the
problem, but the wireless keyboard is a better option for me. Also,
all the various key combo's I've used in JAWS and my other software
work as normal.
