[TenTec] Ten Tec Regal 707 microphone

[David W LeJeune, Sr]

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
