Hi.
I wish that Kenwood would make a desk mic with the four program function
buttons on it like the hand mic that I bought for the TS2000S. I use those
buttons enough that I wouldn't consider running a desk mic instead of the
hand mic, but if they made one that had the four program function buttons,
then I probably would buy it in a heartbeat.
