Linemaster is my favorite brand of footswitch. Generally rugged and good 
quality. Here are a couple sold on Amazon:

The Clipper is overkill, but really nice. I have a dual-pedal model.

But look for these on ebay first. You should be able to find a used Linemaster 
footswitches for much less than the new price. I saw several Clippers for $20 
or less.

As you've been told, if the mic doesn't have a PTT switch, you should be able 
to plug the footswitch into the rear-panel PTT jack. That's what I do. If the 
mic has a PTT switch, hopefully it only switches PTT and not the mic.
