Good point. I've just scanned for my keyboard and mouse and find they are transmitting
on 27.095 for the keyboard and 27.145-ish (splatter box!) for the mouse. Both are a good
end stopping signal (as expected) in the shack. System is the original Microsoft 55248
keyboard and mouse. I guess these would die under large amounts of RF.
