[Elecraft] Recommend a K3s foot switch

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yes and the length of the 1/4" phone plug plus the length of the adapter 
to an RCA connector is something of serious length sticking out behind 
the radio.  Sure is a grand opportunity to get the radio RCA connector 
damaged.  Estimated total length of the albatross is about 3".    Not on 
my radio!
