[Elecraft] K3 PTT Options

[Joel Hallas]

My favorite is a "knee switch." I use a Heil foot switch that is attached by
hook and loop fastener to the left side of the knee hole in my operating
desk at just the right height. Foot operation is also good if you can secure
the switch, but on my tile floor, I found I was always chasing the foot
switch around. 

The K3 VOX is second to none, IMO, but as I tend to cuss out interfering
stations, I'm afraid I'm not a good VOX candidate! <g>

All,

At the risk of this request being lost in the euphoric response to the
K3 K-Pod..... I'm wondering what options you might be using / prefer to
provide the PTT function for a K3S connected headset. I know options
including (1) VOX, (2) PTT button on an alternative plugged in microphone,
(3) PTT pickle switch, (4) PTT foot switch. What about your preference for
enabling several (ie pickle and foot switch) of these in parallel
