Seems like you got a lot of recommendations for a foot switch, but not too
many for a hand-held switch. The one from Ron, WD4AHZ, looks nice, but the
price seems pretty stiff! Seems to me something like that should only cost
$10-$15 at the most, but I'm probably still "living" in the 20th century!
Anyway, I don't have one, but I wish I did. However, I use my CM500 headset
plugged into the back, and the Elecraft microphone (MH2) is plugged into the
front. So, when I just want to use PTT, I simply hold down the Elecraft
microphone's PTT switch, but actually use the CM500 as my
microphone/headphone.
It seems to me that it would be pretty darned easy to just make one, and it
shouldn't cost much either. For that matter, I could also take one of the
many old smaller HT microphones with PTT switches I've collected over the
years and simply change the plug. The problem with that is that you have to
hold it on, and you might prefer a "click on-click off" switch.
The last time this thread went around I picked up a foot switch that
somebody recommended, but I haven't ever really used it. I'm not one to
always have my feet in one place anyway!!! Then again, I'm on SSB so rarely
that I just can't get motivated to do anything really creative! Hi.
