Terry,
I've been using foot switches for over forty years....the first was a
straight
key mounted to a piece of 1X4.
These days, I use three...all paralleled....one on the floor on the left,
one
on the floor on the right, and one velcro-ed to the inside (cubbyhole, or
whatever it is called) of the desk..this one acts as a knee switch...just
flop the old knee
out and you're "on the air" !!!!!
Just improvise...this kind of stuff sure ain't rocket science.
