I love foot switches (Linemaster, of course!). Started using one with my 
Viking II for a faster CW changeover (instead of 3 switches) in 1958.
Tried VOX when I got my GSB-100, but aaa I didn't like the aaa way 
everyone sounded when they aaa tried to keep VOX from dropping out when 
they weren't aaa finished their thought. Not to mention the clipped 
first syllable (I know, not on the K3).
So it's been foot switch or computer control of PTT for me ever since. A 
total habit by now.
