How about the fact that a foot switch leaves both hands free? I once
worked as a mobile phone/paging/answering service operator, and let me
tell you, you quickly gain an appreciation for foot switches. Try
working a mobile caller, taking a phone call and logging calls on paper
all at once sometime, it's REALLY tough if you have a hand switch, and
don't even mention VOX when you are between two other operators with
speakers and telephones, not to mention conversation. For Ham radio, it
leaves both hands free for the computer or logging, and works a treat
for me!!
