[Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Although I made my own applications, Bob Heil has a nice foot switch 
that works as a "stomp to talk" switch.  Also Granger has an assortment 
of foot switches although the may a bit over kill for the application.

For my station, I made a pigtail using some small coax like RG-177 or 
174, {can't recall which} with a momentary switch attached and it is 
then connected to the terminals inside the MIC connector.  This pigtail 
just lays around on the desk and is easy to use.    Since I use a boom 
mounted mike, this works and is convenient.    Then I made my own foot 
switch using an old "stomp box" case obtained from a local music store.  
Since it had two holes,  I have two switches on the "stomp box".  One 
switch is momentary and one switch is latching thus "stomp to talk, 
stomp to listen".
