I have been using a Harbor Freight N.O. momentary contact foot switch for a
couple years. They have lock-on/lock/off foot switches too if that fits your
needs but I prefer the momentary contact type. I had a few comments
directed my way about needing shielding/grounding but ignored the naysayers
and pressed on with no regrets. A little rewiring and I repurposed the
power cord as the pedal to radio cable, reusing their strain relief. Pretty
easy project and so far so good, works like a charm + 20 dB. Switch cable is
within 3 ft of my 1000W amp and the flex 5000A and no problems.
I have the Heil boom mike but prefer the Heil PR40 on an articulated boom.

The $9 Inland 87052 headset is quite comfortable and provides excellent
received sound and transmitted audio quality and level with the FlexRadio
1500 and 3000. It appears physically identical to the $49.95 MFJ-393
headset/microphone.
