Back in the 1950s I picked up a foot-operated headlight dimmer switch at an auto parts store to use with my D104, which didn't have a PTT switch. 73, Bob N7XY On Mar 20, 2013, at 10:54 AM, Ken G Kopp wrote: > I've had one of these stuck to the floor with double-sided tape for years. > > 73! >

Mark, If you already have a footswitch connected to the K3 PTT jack in the rear, yes, it will work on SSB as well as CW. That is not dependent on any connection to the microphone. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/20/2013 1:06 PM, pastor...@verizon.net wrote: Good Afternoon. I am about to purchase a boom
