Description:
The FS 3 is a single channel foot switch to control the transmit/receive function of an amateur radio transceiver. An 8' shielded cable is terminated with a commercial 1/4" plug connects into the Heil CC-1 and AD-1 cable system.

The hinge bar is a solid chrome rod running through the top and bottom plates eliminating threaded screws that usually work loose. The hinge bar is secured with 'C' fasteners.
Product is in production

Switch gives problems after prolonged use Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have purchased two of these footswitches. They are well constructed and do not slide around too bad on my rug. They initially worked very well but after about 1 year of use they both became intermittent in that the switch would not provide a positive closure to key the rig. The keying is "choppy". After the second one got this problem I am on the search for a better switch.
