Steve, I didn't remember that we discussed this exact issue, but we may
have. Actually, right now, I have one of my mic programmable buttons
available that I can program. I followed your recommendations and set-up for
two of my other programmable buttons, and they work just fine, very helpful.

Ron,

I think we may have discussed this earlier, but I don't think there is 
any way to do this.   I think your only other options are to get other 
pf keys, either  with a home brew box, a mic with extra pf keys, or a mic
with up/down buttons that can be reassigned as pf keys.

As far as I know, the TX tune function you are using has no front panel
  button, it can only be done with a pf key.
