- I've been using several of those old $5 Radio Shack footswitches for 30-40 years now .... I suspect that they are no longer available but all of mine (about a half dozen of them) still work just fine

- Hi Scott, We probably worked, as I/we worked on all 6 bands from the next Island over. (thanks!) I am a "footswitch guy" when I operate SSB. That habit goes back decades when I was a dispatcher for a

- I use a thick rubberized kitchen floor mat from Costco (like you'd use in front of sink). It stays in place, and the cushioned top keeps the footswitch in one place. 73; Mike W7VO ___________________

- This may sound a little off the wall, but I've heard of people using a strip of velcro or other adhesive to strap the footswitch to their shoe. A little inconvenient when you have to go, though 73,

- The DXE foot switches are hard-core... heavy and non-slip. It is hard to lose them, even on a tile floor. Wigi, KL0R I use a thick rubberized kitchen floor mat from Costco (like you'd use in front of
