[Elecraft] Hands Free PTT for Wireless Bluetooth

I'm old enough that when I learned to drive, there were no automatic 
transmissions, and left foot clutch operation was the rule, as well 
as on the floor headlight dimmer switches.

I would think that a floor mounted foot switch, preferably one with 
alternate action capability, could put the now unused left foot to 
work (although I left foot brake), to  implement a PTT but with a 
"hands free" requirement some states have.

BTW, you can still buy the through the floor board mounted head light 
dimmer switches(alternate action), as replacement parts for older 
model vehicles, in auto store parts departments.  I recently 
installed one in my Side by Side UTV as a head lamp dimmer switch.
