I need a micro usb male plug to two micro usb female jacks and one of them
must accept the charger, the other a keyboard or whatever. Sounds easy,
'til you try.
After about one hour of searching, I was unable to find a suitable adapter
on ebay or amizon.
I found no splitter that was exactly what I needed and even when I found
splitters, there was a warning text like
"(Please take note: Extra power only charge for accessories such as mouse
keyboard etc, cannot charge for smartphone or tablet)"
Would be nice to be able to connect a radio's CAT as well to automatically
enter frequency/band/call etc. into the log. I've done that before using
the Eagle and a netbook but the battery didn't last very long.
