PX3 Keyboard list URL / feedback about non-working KB

[David Orman]

Hi,

I've seen the various posts on this/yahoo mailing list regarding KBs that
work with the PX3 (tested). Having tried Insignia keyboards that appear to
work at first, but key-presses sometimes don't go through, sometimes
hitting 'esc' doesn't stop transmissions, etc - only noticed after multiple
QSO attempts - I'd like to pick up something that's "known good". FWIW,
with the Insignia, the num lock/caps lock/scroll lock lights would
intermittently turn on/off, and it wasn't predictable when the PX3 would
stop responding to input from it, nor when it would suddenly start working
again. Hope that helps someone looking for KBs.

I looked at the one PDF I saw linked and all were full-sized keyboards. I'm
looking for something smaller for backpacking. Roger K. mailed (thanks!)
about an Anker wireless that works, but I'm looking for other options
(Anker doesn't have an on/off switch so I worry about putting it in a
backpack) before I make a final decision.

Is there a URL where the compatibility list will be stored/kept updated?

Thank you for this wonderful feature Elecraft, and everyone else for all of
the KB compatibility updates,
David/K5DJO

FWIW and I don't know if that keyboard is available in the US: I have
tested a Rapoo model E9070 wireless ultra slim keyboard with a 5GHz
"dongle" that works, as far as I can see, very good. Of course there are
no S/C/N lights but the keys respond as expected. I bought mine in a
local e-store for 25 euros. Putting the KX3/PX3 side-by-side, this
keyboard is exactly as wide as the two... And it has an on/off switch.
