CW with PX3

[Aaron K5ATG]

Is it possible to send CW by keyboard with the PX3? I have a neurological
issue that prevents me from using a key or paddle.

According to the PX3 manual, it does allow this (Page 18, "Text Functions.")

Yes and it also allows you to store messages that can be sent via one or two
keystrokes.  See the memory section of the manual.  It will also add
sequential serial numbers to contest responses.  There are several wireless
USB keyboards that work well with the PX3.

Can you list which keyboards work well. I am using one that is having issues
with dropped characters, added characters and disconnecting from the px3.

I found that any wired keyboard I used would suffer from the same problem,
usually a runaway transmit condition, where new characters got jam-crammed
into the keyboard buffer due to stray RF. This kept the KX3/PX3
transmitting until cancelled manually.

Bluetooth keyboards don't work because there's no way to see a pairing
code, but dedicated 2.5ghz dongle-type wireless keyboard works fine. I got
this inexpensive one from Amazon, and it has zero problems, probably
because it doesn't have a wire acting as an antenna to haul in stray RF and
jam it into the keyboard buffer.

I wish this keyboard would work with my HobbyPCB IQ32 as well as the PX3,
but for some reason, it doesn't. Only an ancient Compaq keyboard with the
PS/2 DIN plug works properly on that machine...and I was hoping I could use
a more compact keyboard for it. So far, the only keyboard that works weighs
four times what the radio does. :/ The PX3/KX3 is far more reasonable and
behaves itself appropriately.
