I use (4) PTT foot switch.

I don't understand your "in parallel" question. I have one foot switch 
plugged into the K3's rear panel PTT jack, and use it for the Heil GM-5 
plugged into the MIC connector on the front panel, and for the Yamaha 
CM500 headset plugged into the rear panel MIC and PHONES jacks.

The headphones are always on, but I can't hear the audio because the 
phones are clapped together while the speaker is on.

I switch mics with MENU: MIC SEL, which also sets the high/low gain 
selection and mic bias on/off.

The Heil mic cable originally was for a Yaesu plug (I think), but I 
diked-off the RJ connector, and installed a round Kenwood-style plug to 
match the K3's jack.

I did not install a 1/4" phone jack near the round plug because the foot 
switch is plugged into the rear panel, and the GM-5's PTT button works 
without it.

Now, why did you ask about PTT devices in parallel?
