Tom:

I plugged my mic from my tm-271 into the 480, and the keys didn't do
anything. It would key up the radio though.

   John:

Well, that's why I'm not going to try anything like that, and may just buy
the recommended mic with the PF keys.  I just thought that maybe a Kenwood
mic from one rig to another might work, but am not about to risk hurting
anything.

These rigs are just too expensive for experimentation like that.
