I use the rear panel mic jack for the microphone, but I use the
front panel 1/4" jack (with an adapter for the headphones. I
still have a MH2 mic plugged into the Kenwood compatible
microphone jack on the front panel. What I get from this setup is:
(1) The internal speaker goes on when I unplug the front panel
1/4" adapter, off when the headphones are plugged in. My shack
is 20' from the kitchen and not having radio noise is
appreciated by the people cooking, so most of the time I use the
radio with headphones. Having a mechanical function to switch
the speaker on/off I avoid using a PF control.
(2) The MH2 acts as a push-to-talk switch for the CM300 microphone.
(3) When everyone in the house is planning on checking into a 2M
repeater net, I unplug the headphones and switch the microphone
menu item to front panel, bias on. That lets people who are used
to picking up a microphone easily use the radio.

Easy. Everyone I know of uses the rear panel Mic and Headphone
jacks. That will mute the speaker by default, so I assign the
SPKR+PHONES toggle to PF2. Also, you'll need to go into the
menu to set the MIC to rear panel, and turn on bias. Details
are in the menu section of the manual.
