Most computer input data is entered via a keyboard. Who could argue that was old hat and out of date!!!!!!!!! All the data modes, Amtor. Ptor, Rtty, Gtor, Psk31, Pkt etc need keyboard manipulation. The only thing worse than a poor cw operator is someone fumbling on a keyboard with 2 fingers!!!!!!!!!! G3KEV
