If thats the case, I don't see dongle rx overload as much as a crappy src signal. OTOH, SA front ends are very susceptable to permanent damage that will show up like that. And the fix was a trip back to tek, accompanied by a check for 5G's or so in the 70's. If you get that working so the keyboard/mouse can come in on the BT circuit of the pi, you might solve my problem with the pi as I understand that BT does not get funneled thru the usb2 pinhole to get into the pi. Good luck with that, its interesting. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
