I think it’s a reasonable expectation, as long as bluetooth is working well. ?There are enough pocket-sized bluetooth keyboards. ?I got one like this:??physically that one is not so great to type on: some keys are just a bit sticky. ?Maybe they aren’t all like that, and anyway I can get by with it for SOTA, not having to do much typing anyway. ?It has all the keys to use the terminal or any other application when I need to. ?Next time I would try one that uses a Blackberry keyboard, since actual Blackberry devices were known for having pretty good keyboards, and the keyboards are apparently still in production. ?https://www.tindie.com/search/?q=blackberry

it is very likely either radio will, at a minimum,
require/benefit from a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, if not a
companion device (tablet, smartphone or laptop).
