Band equipment takes a beating and keeps on going. Excellent idea.

I use a Treadlite switch model t-51-S made by the Linemaster Switch
Corp. I have several that I have found at Flea markets and Ham Fests.
However, for the reasons described below, I do not like foot switches
so I use them as "knee" switches. I mount them vertically beneath
my operating desks.
QLF !
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Perhaps you have an old hand key hanging around. Some of the WW II models
make great PTT switches.

Another source to consider is the local auto junk (er... 'used parts') yard
for an older car headlight dimmer foot switch. Most Hams today probably
weren't born when they were common, b
*Hmmm..I do remember them, BUT, on the car I owned at that time, the switch
was round, about 1" in diameter and if I was to use that in a contest I
would need a new shoe/slipper/foot as they had a distinct resistant to
pressure so as to not activate with a brush from your shoe when using the
clutch

Good timing. Ive been thinking about making one up using an old sewing
making foot control never though of checking out the local music shop.

*Jim,
I went to the local musical instrument shop (Guitar Shop) and was shown a
myriad of footswitches. A simple, all metal one cost me $19.00 AUD and has
been in use for 2 years and no issues. It is even switchable NO/NC...:-)
Figure I got my bucks worth by now.
