I brought the +8V rail from the RF board up to a two-pin jumper. I then 
plug this in to once side of the Mic jumper block. This supplies the 
+8v I need to power my single-message voice keyer that I use for 
contests. (this works interchangably with my Kenwood TS-430S)

It is possible to separate the front panel and the RF board, but since 
I rarely do so, it isn't much of a problem.
