Phil,
The only problem with a simple Y connection is that the mic will be
'live' when using the DTMF pad.
If you need an attenuator, try a 100k in series with the cable and a 10k
from the line to ground. Those values are high enough not to interfere
with the mic. Adjust the value of the 100k so you just light the ALC
one bar.
You may have to turn compression off if you do not get a clear DTMF
signal out of the RF.
The alternative is to get a DTMF microphone and rewire its plug to match
your K2 mic configuration.
