[Elecraft] PTT switch for K3 - postscript

[Walter Underwood]

I wired up my own using this hand switch.

I think Heil sells a hand PTT switch. 

Foot switches are pretty popular, too. I don’t have one, but I’ve seen recommendations on this list.

All I have been able to find online are nurse call buttons – which I suppose would work but the big red cross on the button is off-putting, and because they are made for use in a hospital environment they are expensive.  Anyone suggest a source?
