Heil FS-2 Dual Foot Switch

As a part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the amateur radio division at Heil Sound, Ltd., Bob Heil introduces a unique new product that will help to solve many control and interface problems for amateur radio stations.

The Heil model FS-2 Dual Footswitch is an ergonomically correct device with the hinge being UNDER your heel instead of away from your foot as with all other footswitches. This requires much less effort and relaxes the leg muscles during long periods of operation such as contest and DxPedition operations. The hinge is a solid bar running the compete width of the footswitch assembly thus eliminating screws or fasteners that may work loose. The FS-2 is designed for maximum comfort and reliability.

The Heil Dual Footswitch is a unique product specifically designed for controlling TWO devices simultaneously. Two 10 amp micro-switches are mounted so that the one feeding the RED lead turns on first and the BLACK lead turns on last. A typical application would be to key a transceiver with the BLACK lead and an RF power amplifier with the RED lead. This unique Heil footswitch eliminates any active interface problems between transceivers and RF amplifiers.

The BLACK lead is terminated in a ¼" male phone plug that connects into the PTT line of the Heil CC-1 microphone cable system. The RED lead comes to you with an RCA male adapter which mates with most keying inputs of RF amplifiers in use today.
