I am continually astounded to see expensive electronics (particularly in the
CW arena) being offered with PS2 connections for keyboards. The standard has
been dead for about 100 years now, supplanted by USB technology. To ask for
over $300.00 for a decoder/logger/keyer is all fine and good ,but whe

One might as well argue that the P3 SVGA add-in
should support HDMI instead of the relatively

And we're still using RS-232 instead of USB. And UHF connectors, which have
been obsolete since the 1940's (when the N connector was developed). It is all
kind of embarrassing.

Hard Wired Keyboards and Mice are also passe.
Wireless is the only way to go, but that means you need more than just a
couple of USB ports on these radios.

Folks,
Let's end this thread. This list is not the place to argue pro/con on issues

Actually, I would prefer that if it supported HDMI. I don't own any SVGA
displays -- haven't owned one in over 11 years. DVI and HDMI are the way to go
these days. I have not boug

My apologies to Eric posting on a closed topic.
However, the thesis that started this is wrong. PS/2 is but one
implementation of I2C bus technology and the I2C bus is still very

I'd prefer that, as well. I might have an old 19" FP monitor around
here somewhere that will still accept a SVGA connection.
If I were to buy a new monitor for that purpose, it would certainly have
HDMI support, and it wouldn't cost that much, either.
