Interesting.  I tried to use a USB keyboard with my shack computer, not 
too far from the base of my 80/160m inverted L.  I could not keep RF out 
of it when running a few hundred watts, even with ferrite cores on the 
cable.  I went back to the old-style 'ps2' keyboard which allowed me to 
run 1500w on 160 with no problem (of course, the ferrite is required).

It could just be the particular keyboard, but it makes me think that 
maybe this could be a reason that Alpha made the choice they did.
