[CQ-Contest] Wireless devices, radios and logging programs

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

With most wireless accessories you have to sync them up.  You could have
some issues if using the same devices in multiple instances especially if
the distances are close.  I don't recall being able to select a "channel"
with wireless keyboards or mice.

You might look at Bluetooth devices as each device has its own identifier
and you mate the devices up so they should work fine.  I don't know if there
are Bluetooth keyboards though.

Hi,

I am currently using several WIN XP computers with
regular connected keyboards and mice.  I would like to switch to
wireless keyboards and wireless mice, but am wondering whether
or not this will work.  How does computer A with wireless mouse
A, not get confused with computer B and wireless mouse B,
or computer C / Mouse C, especially if they are all the same
model made by the same manufacturer?

Does transmitted RF in a multi-radio situation potentially compound the
situation further?  With "wired" keyboard and mice, I use ferrites to
good effect.  What can you use with wireless devices?

Please advise.  I am especially interested to hear from those who
actually have this type of setup now.

Thanks and 73
