OK, you guys have a bunch of pill bottles and film cans lying around the
bench. I used a piece of RS circuit board to make 2 sets of switches for
PTT/FSK, ie 4 transistors. I put it in a box with 4 stereo 1/8 inch jacks
on the front - Each pair handles 2 switches, eg FSK/PTT or CW/PTT etc by
swapping cables. ;-)
