Chris...

I use a older Heil Pro Set with my K2 ( and other radios )....there is 
no button on the regular headset, just a 1/4 stereo plug for the 
headphones and plug for the audio... the adapters Heil sells have a PPT 
jack and a jack for audio input.

The easiest way for me, when on the K2, is that I leave my paddle in... 
when you hold the Dit side, it's PTT in SSB!.

Or you could wire up any Normal-open switch to close the contact for PTT 
and hand hold it if wanted ( this switch would plug into the adapter 
where the foot - switch goes. )

Or go VOX , tho  in this mode, the K2 can use either a bit of boost with 
the "5" element with either external mic gain amp OR changing the 
resitor on the K2 board for a bit more gain.
