[Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

[kstover at ac0h.net]

I rolled my own.
Normally open push button switch built into an old 35mm film container a hunk of RG-174 coax and a 1/4 inch jack. You could spend a ridiculous amount of money and get the official Heil switch which was built into a pistol grip.

Subject: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

I plan to try the SSB QSO party next weekend, and have the adapter for the K3 and a Heil headset – but I need a remote PTT switch with a ¼ inch mono plug on one end and a pushbutton switch at the other.  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?

Thanks, as always,

Ted, KN1CBR
