You do understand the PX3 already has a USB port, correct? I’m talking about plugging a $5.99 USB hub into the existing PX3 USB port in order to leverage the existing keyboard and thumb drive support at the same time. There’s no change to the PX3 hardware, only a minor firmware change. I’d call that free. It may not advance the state of the art, but it’s certainly in the true spirit of Ham Radio.
