Thanks for this idea. I prefer a foot switch, and I've already had one of the Heil switches die on me in less than 2 years of use. Right now I'm using one I got from Radiodan.com. The owner is a member of my club, and I bought it at our annual HamFest. It looks to be of decent quality, but I don't know his source.  Anyway, if this one dies, I am definitely going to try a sustain pedal. They typically have a switch which switches the operation from on/off to a variable resistance (depending on what you are using it for). It should work fine for PTT operation in the on/off mode, and they are fairly rugged. I may have to try it soon just to see how one would feel in actual operation.

If you don't want to build something, check out a music store.  The kind of foot switch bands use is very rugged and reliable.
