In 2015 I bought one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Linemaster-Clipper-Switch-Electrical-Momentary/dp/B00
2P55Y36/ref=sr_1_18
This is an Industrial grade, very high quality footswitch. You can wire it
NC or NO. Takes 5 minutes to set up. You'll never need another switch after
this. 

There were versions of these pedals installed in film projection booths I
worked in throughout my career, to do changeovers between machines; they
were installed in the 40s and 50s and were still going strong when I left
the industry. They are indestructible and worth every penny of their $30
price.

What we call a "foot switch" is a "sustain pedal" in guitar speak (the real
market).  The standard is a 1/4" plug.  Buy an adapter.

Subject: [Elecraft] Recommend a K3s foot switch

Hi guys! I searched around a bit nothing conclusive so thought I'd ask.

I am needing a foot switch for my K3s which is also connected to my
KPA500/KAT500 setup.

I purchased a Heil FS-3 however it has a 1/4" phono plug on it and the K3s
has an RCA jack (like a dummy I did not look at the back of the radio before
I bought it).

So, recommend an adapter or I can take this one back to HRO and get
something else?

Recommendations?

Thanks,
Michael
