find an old desk mic and remove the mic. I am in the process of deigning and building a simple PTT switch that is basically the base of a desk mic without the mic. When I get it finished, I will post it here for comment. It will be a 3D printed box and some switches and a 1/8 plug for a cable. I made one from thin plywood using a couple of relay contacts back in 2008 and my club and I have used it ever since fopr thousands of contacts both indoors and out.
