Reasonably priced footswitches can also be had at your local music store. I
am using one thin Heil footswitch and the other a cheap knockoff, both are
doing great. However stomping on either with hiking boots, I am not sure.
So I tread lightly on my footswitchs.
Heil also has a footswitch that keys both the rig and amp. It sets up to
high for my tastes and got to hurting my foot during a long contest. So I
when back to the thin jobs.

We must have a different definition of "FB quality". I've owned
several Heil footswitches and they all eventually failed with stripped
pivot screws. It's a poor mechanical design. You can kludge a repair
with a long machine screw and nylock nut or do better by purchasing a
Linemaster GEM-V footswitch or similar.
If you were describing Radio Shack's footswitch I might agree, but I've
used
a Heil for >10 years and ~60k contest QSOs with never a problem. Of
course
*anything* mechanical is prone to failure!
