DIttto here!  My secret goes something like this:

Go to a known quantity memory for the tone you want if you have one,
or to use it as a starting point even if it isn't the tone you want.

Transfer that memory's contents to your vfo using function-vfo.

NOw you've a known starting point.  Do your function-9 then
function-band, select the tone you do want by counting clicks from
where you were.

I cheat sometimes, I have my xyl look at the display <g>.

STill that one works for me, especially if I've a tone chart handy so
I can count clicks etc.
