Default PTT Button

Seems one of my PTT buttons has decided to give up the ghost...anyone have the part number for the replacement for Vans? If not I'll just source a generic one and go with that.

Thanks

I replaced the cheap Radio Shack PTT switches with these:

If you are asking me about installation, sorry, I don't remember much. It was 10 years ago.

Default Otto

^^^^^^

I agree, go with Otto.

I used this one (I believe same thing Spruce sells)...

It drops right into the stick.

Default PTT Button

I got the button fixed. Wasn't impressed with it so I'll be replacing both with one from Mouser.
Thanks for the help.

I have an extra Otto switch that I'd be happy to sell at a loss.

I'll take it! The one on my panel was damaged by a long-legged passenger. (Unless the OP wants it of course!)

I haven't heard from the original poster.

Mouser has these switches for a little over $24. I'll let mine go for $12 + $6 shipping. The Otto part number is: P1-32621, includes mounting hardware, original terminals and screws. Payment via Paypal would be great. Send me a PM to work out details.

First responder takes the switch.
