Well you could pug the foot switch into the straight key jack, but if you did, that would be sending QLF or QRF, wouldn't it? ;o)
When I first got licensed in 1976, the Oklahoma City Hamfest had a contest called the QLF contest. They had a wooden straight key about 3 or 4 feet long connected to an oscillator on which participants would send CW with their left foot. Having your shoe on was optional. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:24:12 -0400, "Joe Subich, W4TV" <li...@subich.com> wrote: > >> I still don't understand why it can't be included in the firmware as >> an option even if you key the TX with a footswitch, but that is the >> way it is. > >The rig can not tell if you want to transmit SSB or CW if you assert >PTT before the key closes and because of settling time for the various >oscillators/synthesizers/offsets can't change from SSB to CW while in >transmit.
