Hi, I've not messed with wireless keyboards, but I have messed with transmitters and the like. I'm pretty much right over the porch on the 2nd floor. I figure if it can go about 30 feet, I'm good to go.
Now all I'll need is a wireless mic and I can groadcast on my front porch this spring. all hair wireless technology Rick contact info msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype lord_of_beer aim r_claypo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Pietruk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
