[Elecraft] Recommend a K3s foot switch

[hawley, charles j jr]

Those adapters will place a lot of torque on the back of the K3. A better idea is an adapter with connectors on each end of a wire.

Michael,
This adapter should work.  1/4" mono female to rca male adapter

Sure it's a pack of 5 but if you look around I'm betting you can find it
in solo or twin packs.

Or if you really want a Heil foot switch then the FS-2 looks like it
would work.  Or as some one else mentioned, bust out the soldering iron.
