The wireless keyboard's frequency can't be changed, but I've changed |
| 16 |
the channel the wireless network operates on. Some are definitely |
| 17 |
better than others, but I can't seem to find one that's totally |
| 18 |
reliable here. A large file transfer over the network seems to |
| 19 |
interfere with the keyboard no matter which channel the network it on. |

I see. I guess it's the phone that makes it useful. I was hoping to |
| 33 |
plug in the USB transciever, strap on the headset, and walk around my |
| 34 |
apartment. Without a phone that has bluetooth capabilities and a lot |
| 35 |
of minutes, I'm probably better off sticking with the line-out/mic-in |
| 36 |
headset. |
