foot switching negative feedback and bypass cap switch
« on: October 11, 2021, 09:27:33 pm »
I put in a negative feed back and bypass cap off switch on my 5e3. I'm going to rebuild it on a turret board and do some other changes to it. Thinking about putting in a foot switch for the negative feedback as Rob, http://robrobinette.com/, plans show.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to make the bypass cap foot switched? Two questions:
1. Would it be a problem if negative feedback was on and bypass was on?
2. Is using a foot-switch on the bypass Cap a no go because of the resistance in the long foot cable?
