Is there a way to use a Function F1-F6 button on a Flex 6400M to select a profile?

I frequently alternate between SSB and digital modes. I have global profiles for each operating mode, but changing requires multiple selections on the touchscreen. It would be much easier to have one button press to make the change using F1-F6. However, profiles are not available in the F1-F6 configuration menu. Is there a way to assign a profile to F1-F6?

No, not at this time.

You may want to consider using a StreamDeck with FRStack (or just FRStack).

Mike, thank you, appreciate the re-direction. I find it interesting that I may have made the wrong choice in which Flex radio I purchased. I specifically bought the 6400M instead of the 6400 in order to have easier use in a mobile or expedition setting. That is, to have easily accessible radio controls (VFO, etc.) and use the laptop for the other CAT controls plus logging similar to my "less sophisticated" radios. Now I find myself wishing I had saved some money by buying a 6400 and a FlexControl. It is far easier and faster to change profiles and use the signal processing controls using SmartSDR than it is to do the same through the 6400M touchscreen or Maestro. So I am now using my 6400M like a 6400. It is an excellent radio and still clearly my best radio.
