[Elecraft] Recommend a K3s foot switch

[Fred Jensen]

Long long ago when I was still a teenager and knew everything, I used an 
extra J-38 mounted on a piece of plywood for a footswitch.  As I 
remember it worked quite well.  I don't remember what sort of plug the 
TX required but I must have made it work.  Awful lot of traffic here for 
a SPST foot-operated switch. [:-)
