I would also like to see a desk mic with a touchtone pad on it.

  Brett,

  According to a friend of mine who got his information from a Kenwood 
  technician, you address the PF functions by grounding either pin 3 or 4 
  through a resistor.  Depending on the value of the resistor, you address one 
  of two PF keys.  I've thought about building a box with four buttons, one 
  for each PF key, but I'm a bit chicken about soldering an RJ45 connector. 
  It's too bad none of the Kenwood desk mics have those functions, or that 
  somebody hasn't come up with a box similar to what I've described.

  Steve
