Steven,
The hard part is finding a handheld switch that you are comfortable
with. As someone mentioned, if you have another microphone with a PTT
switch, plug that into the front panel and plug the CM500 into the
rear. When the rear panel microphone is selected, the PTT button on the
microphone will work (but the mic will not).
The other alternative is to find a cable mounted switch that you are
comfortable with and solder an RCA Plug to the end of the cable - plug
it into the rear panel PTT jack.

Please read carefully. I am wanting to get a Yamaha CM500 and add a PTT
switch. Do not recommend a foot switch I am wheelchair bound and have no
way of using my feet. I am looking for a button PTT switch and not a
trigger switch. When I searched the internet the one I saw was "no longer
in production for new orders" due to health issues. I may consider building
my own. The Yamaha CM500 and PTT switch will be used with my K3S.
