Hi, all.

Sorry for another TS480 question, but I just thought of a problem that I 
might encounter down the road as I put my TS480 in the motor home.

It concerns the PF keys.

Right now, as you probably know, the PF key on the TS480 right below the 
on/off button is programmed to read the frequency I'm on.

However, when I use the TS480 in the motor home, I will be tuning my 
screw-driver-type antenna with an out-board device called the turbo-tuner. 
The turbo-tuner is made by N2VZ.

If I'm reading the turbo-tuner instructions correctly, that device requires 
a PF key to activate the tuner.  This means, of course, that I may have to 
use the PF key right below the on/off button for this purpose.  Then, I'll 
have no way to check my frequency voice read-out.

Are there other PF keys on the TS480 that I'm unaware of here?

Am I Going to have to consider purchasing a mic other than the stock mic, 
that'll have extra PF keys on it?

If so, what alternative mic would you recommend?

Thanks for any help you can give me here.
