Hi, John. I too have always had problems with foot switch. A year or so ago I
got a Heil pistol grip push to talk switch. It's great. Kinda pricy - about
$33.00 but works like a champ. Here's a URL:

It's a HS-2 hand switch - at the bottom of the page.
Dave WN5V (BTW - I traded my closet kilowatt - Omni V+ and Herc II for my Orion
II and Titan III amp. Sure miss the V+, although the Orion II is great. Don't
use it except for CW and digi.)

Thanks Greg. I may try that. I am almost 80, years of age and have been
licensed 60 years and have never used a foot switch. I never was a good dancer
but maybe I can PAT my right foot. I never was very coordinated but managed the
extra code test when 20 wpm was required. I never was a good typist although I
took a typing class. Chewing gum and walking was also a problem and is getting
worse, I could manage to run when the necessity reared its' ugly head, but that
is a bygone.
If you hear an old fart stuttering on the air that will probably be me on SSB
using a footswitch!!!
Thanks for the great suggestion Greg. 73, John, K5PGW
