Steve:

Well, it's always good to have options, so I'll save this one in my pile of 
future projects that may or may not be tackled someday, time and resources 
permitting.

Now, if I could only retire, so I'd have more time to do all this fun stuff!

I hadn't thought of the a/b menu thing, but that is an idea.  Another
way to go is to build a  box like Colin did a few years ago to mimic the
pf keys on  whatever mic has the multiple pf keys.

If I remember right, he built this for a Kenwood rig with round mic
connector,so your in and out between mic and rig would be different, but
the basic idea is the same. The box has push buttons, and inside are
some components (resistors, if I remember right) between the switches
and various mic wires.  So you get multiple pf keys that can be set in
the 480's menu.

Maybe not a project you want to tackle right now, but another option.
