As long as the keyboard appears to be a dumb keyboard it should work...
I have a Genovation 64 Key programmable keypad working that fires macros
into the SVGA, at the push of a single button. See:
https://www.nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/
I fire all sorts of prebuilt macros into the P3, from reconfiguring the
rig for various modes, to setting up complex split operations for DX, to
sending my call in CW.
I program the Genovation once, (and never touch it again programming
wise), then just add my macros to the P3 after that. Once a macro is
added, that macro is available at a single button press from then on.
Works great in a pileup. I press the "Split Plus" button on the
Genovation and the P3 moves the tuned DX signal to the hard left side of
the P3 display, sets the span of the P3 to 5 KHz., (showing me the 5
KHz. above the DX signal), turns on VFO B for control of my my transmit
on the K3, narrows the K3 filter to 100 Hz., (centered on the DX
signal), centers the IF passband on my DX signal, and then shows the
transmit cursor on the P3.
This lets me find a hole in the pileup, use the VFO B knob on the K3 to
move my transmit to that hole in the pileup, and when I hit the ID
button it fires off my ID as fast, and as often as I press the button
for ID. The entire operation takes about 2 seconds to set up, and start
calling...
73s and thanks,

I have a P3 and will be ordering the P3_SVGA. I assume this will NOT
support a wireless USB keyboard, but just thought I would confirm before
buying one... On the topic, any favorite keyboards I should consider - or
avoid? Thanks for your input!
