Hello Alex,
I've long ago solved the problem of not having enough hands.
I dislike VOX, so my solution was a foot switch plugged into
the PTT line of the mike jack along with my Heil headset
(or elsewhere on some radios). Heil and several others sell
an adapter for a few dollars that is tailored for each major
radio manufacturer's mic plug, and has a jack for the PTT foot switch
and another for the headset's microphone. It's very easy to just
make your own.
I've used foot switches in contests and in ragchewing for many
years. With a headset it's the only way to go.
73,
