You might consider ED913 or E913 which are less expensive than the
ED903.

Add wire and appropriate plug (mine has a phono plug for the K3) and you can build a very nice PTT switch for less than $20.

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?
