This is an ideal suggestion. I use the M-Audio Sustain Foot Switch. Bought it at the same place I got my Yamaha CM500, Guitar Center. We have a store in town, but I bought mine on their web page. It is identical to the Heil FS-1 and costs $15. I have three. Additionally, it has a slide switch that makes it normally closed or normally open if you need to do something to "interrupt" something (like for an SO2R controller).
My main one has been in service for three years with no issues whatsoever, and Im not kind to it in pileups. If it can stand up to Rock and Roll organists, it will stand up to my mad mashing in a pileup. -lu-w4lt (currently /VE3 - Markham, Ontario, Canada)- ------------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:42:39 -0400 From: david Moes <dm...@nexicom.net> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] PTT Footswitch To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: <5003718f.9050...@nexicom.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Good timing.
