Here's Another idea for a PTT switch that I once used.

You can buy a cheap piano keyboard sustain pedal. These are momentary non latching switches and the small square ones work well on your desktop with little effort and also works as a footswitch. These can be bought at your local music store or online for about $15.

Here's one example by Korg, model PS-3

Yamaha FC-5

I used to use a hand ptt switch, but after playing around with my vox settings, I am "hands free" now. Takes a bit of fiddling to get the sensitivity and hang time, but once set, it works great. Just remember to turn off your mic or Vox when you are going to sneeze. Or fart. Or when your xyl comes in the shack and yells "are you on the radio AGAIN"!?!

My Heil boom arrived, and the XLR cable that came with it has no name on it. I chickened out today and ordered the Heil adapter. Sure, it was $40, but I'd rather not risk frustration trying to cheap out on a mic cord.

Hopefully I can have everything up and running soon and give an update.

I ordered the adapter from dxengineering, so I'm sure it will be legit.
