Heil FS-3 Single Channel Foot Switch from the Genesis Series
The FS 3 is a single-channel foot switch that controls an amateur radio transceiver's transmit/receive (PTT) function. The Heil CC-1 and AD-1 cable systems are connected by an 8' shielded cable terminated with a commercial 1/4" plug.
The hinge bar is a solid chrome rod that runs through the top and bottom plates, obviating the need for threaded screws, which are prone to loosening. 'C' fasteners are used to secure the hinge bar.
The Heil CC-1 and AD-1 cable systems are connected by an 8' shielded cable terminated with a commercial 1/4" plug.

Selected User Reviews For FS-3 FS3 Heil Original Foot Switch for PTT, Single Channel

For your microphone, you'll need a good, solid foot switch
5/5

This microphone switch is well-made, and it feels solid underfoot. A firm push down from your foot is required to activate the device. Bob Heid and his team produce a fantastic product, as they always do.

Quality is Heil
5/5

This is a replacement for a foot switch that had worn out after many years of use. Heil consistently delivers the high level of quality that I have come to expect.

Excellent craftsmanship
5/5

This item is of excellent quality and carries a well-known brand. It does exactly what you'd expect it to do. I use it with my Icom IC- Radio station 7300.

The noise is mechanical
3/5

It looks good and functions well, but it makes a lot of mechanical noise when pressed or released due to the spring and hinge.
