Am considering getting a cordless keyboard/mouse however my hobby involves
using radio equipment and I do not want interference from near radio waves
can someone tell me what frequency these operate on?

This shouldn't be a major problem. There is usually some kind of a
regulatory agency in most countries that determines what products can use
which frequency.

FWIIW, I am using a Logitech cordless mouse in the same room as a Scientific
American TV remote control, a Sony AM/FM reciever, and a GE cordless
telephone. Everything works fine.

Thanks for that.

Don't those use the infrared part of the spectrum, rather than lower
frequencies?

Ok, I've looked up the technical specs for a cordless mouse, and it says that
they operate on the frequency of 5250 Hz.

Gees, that is sure a 'kick ass' frequency.

Unlikely they would work on an audio frequency.
Some operate at 27 Mhz which is wiped out by CB radio.
Some operate at 2.4 Ghz which should be pretty safe.

Agreed. I was thinking he meant 5250 MHz, or, 5.250GHz
