I've used magnetic reed switches for discreet switching while keeping the
appearance standard. They work fine inside the case with a small button or
bar magnet outside. Never had a problem with steel casings getting
magnetised enough to operate the switch permanently.

Just got a RigExpert and it looks like the baud setting for FSK is a
jumper ... but ... I only need to short one set of header pins to go
from 45.45 to 75. Thought about a little latching SPST pushbutton but
don't want to cut the case (I've only had it for 6 hours!) so how
about a magnetic reed switch? Never used one before - would it work
with a metal case?
