I recently got a mini keyboard that works with the P3/SVGA/Latest Firmware. I got it from a company in Houston, Texas called Directron (www.directron.com/akb110b.html). It is a Adesso AKB-110B for $23.99. It is an 87 Windows Key layout, nice and small (11.75 X 6 X 1 in.) with a 6 ft. USB cable.

Hi Iain, Thanks for the message link but while I can view CW, RTTY, and PSK text on my external monitor, connecting a standard USB Dell keyboard to the P3 does not permit me to send PSK or RTTY. I tried all of the Data modes and I can send PSK and RTTY via my paddle but not from a P3 attached

Mike, Yes, the send function works fine. Are you using FSK-D or PSK-D Data modes? Are you seeing the Cap Locks light light up as a test of your keyboard? Rick K6LE On 7/26/2012, at 2:12 , Mike K2MK k...@comcast.net wrote: Hi Iain, Thanks for the message link but while I can view CW,

Mike, I guess it's too early in the morning. Of course you are in PSK-D or FSK-D or you wouldn't be copying data. So that leaves my question about the Caps Lock light working. Also, do you have the asterisk showing in the lower right corner of the status box? I found with a couple of

Hi Rick, Yes I've tried PSK-D and FSK-D. And yes the keyboard caps lock light does go on. I'm not sure what you mean by an asterisk in the status box but no there is no asterisk on either the large monitor or the P3. I did plug and unplug the keyboard. I'm not going to pursue this further as I'm

Mike - It sounds as though you have not read the PDF file that is contained within the P3/SVGA/USB beta zip file. That explains about the asterisk under the Status Bar paragraph and all you need to know to get it working. Read that, Mike, and preferably print it off and you'll be away. David

Hi Mike, If you look on your external display at the very bottom of the screen you should see a blue status bar. On the left it will show either rx or TX based on whether the K3 is transmitting or not. On the right there will be a small asterisk if the SVGA card detects a valid USB keyboard
