Several wireless Logitech keyboards have a very interesting feature - they can connect to several computers or devices, switching between them by simply tapping a key on the keyboard. As an example, I use a K780 with a Logitech Unifying receiver plugged into my P3. A second Unifying receiver is

I can't find the document on the new Elecraft web site but here's a copy that I cut and pasted from a posting in October 2015.  I think this is a small subset of keyboards that are compatible with the PX3 and P3 with SVGA option.  My understanding is that pretty much any keyboard that is not

My K3 (modified to K3s) is giving me a problem for the first time in ten years. I first noticed it driving the KPA1500 erratically. It would go from a few hundred watts to excessive power and faulted out. In order to narrow down the problem, I disconnected the K3 from the KPA1500 and put a dummy

Since I have no had my hands on a DXE buffer amplifier, I have to guess. Jack had a bandpass filter designed for the K2 at the output that peaked the response at 4915 kHz. I have the Z1B-K2 buffer instructions on my computer.  If DXE is using the same board layout, then it should be easy

Do you mean driving both a KPA1500 AND a KPA500 at the same time?! I don't know where that would be legal, practical, or desirable. But there's lots of stuff I don't know... If you mean driving one's choice of KPA1500 OR KPA500, read on: Before KPA1500 became available, I had an Alpha 87A on K3

I found that any wired keyboard I used would suffer from the same problem, usually a runaway transmit condition, where new characters got jam-crammed into the keyboard buffer due to stray RF. This kept the KX3/PX3 transmitting until cancelled manually. Bluetooth keyboards don't work because

Jim, The IF take-off point normally used for the K2 is at J12 pin 1 which is after the Post-Mixer amplifier. That point provides a signal that is about equal in strength to the antenna input affords isolation for BFO leakthrough. For everyone's information, DX Engineering is selling the
