Hi Bryan. The best footswitches I have found have been either electric sewing machine or Dictaphone (audio transcription) foot controllers, picked up for $next-to-nothing in junk shops (or ask a sewing machine repair shop for a cast-off). They are solidly built, the size of a paperback book, and heavy, with long-life well made switch contacts. They completely outclass the crappy little lightweight ones sold new into the ham market.
They work equally well with other, lesser, radios and headsets, and not just on SSB either :-) Tip: fit a 1/4" mono plus AND a phono plug on the cable, in parallel, to be able to use the switch with radios or amps that have either type of socket. 73 Gary ZL2iFB > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:elecraft- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Bryan > Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2013 08:02 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Elecraft] K2 SSB PTT Switch > > Can anyone recommend an appropriate PTT switch for my Heil Proset and > K2? > > 73, Bryan VE6HBS > __________________________________________________________ > ____ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
