| The final method is to leave a PTT microphone connected to the mic jack and press the microphone's button to generate a carrier in CW mode. Then, however, the microphone and cord will tend to get in your way while you are working CW, and in the case of a hand mic, you have to grab the microphone in order to press the button. This is less ergonomic than simply pressing a stationary button on the front of the rig. In addition, I don't like to leave a microphone plugged into the rig, because non-ham visitors are always tempted to pick it up and say "10-4, good buddy!". This irks me to no end! | The final method is to leave a PTT microphone connected to the mic jack and press the microphone's button to generate a carrier in CW mode.

| This is a very small, cylindrical, SPST momentary switch that can fit inside the mic connector so that only the tiny black button (which matches the Argonaut) extends out the back of the connector. (Radio Shack also carries a red button, if you prefer.) | This is a very small, cylindrical, SPST momentary switch that can fit inside the mic connector so that only the tiny black button (which matches the Argonaut) extends out the back of the connector.
