Tune-Up with spare TX RCA Jack?
I’m not sure if this is already possible but I would like to assign one of my unused
TX connectors on the back of my 6500 to the TUNE button in SSDR So I can connect a foot or hand switch to the TUNE function.

OR
Is it possible to make the TUNE button in SSDR Momentary instead of latching?

After further investigation it seems that this is not possible as of yet.
I would guess this would just be something that could be added to the “Radio Setup” Panel under the “TX” Tab.
Maybe a check box next to each of the RCA TX 1,2,3 boxes to allow user to select witch one of the unused RCA TX jacks controls the TUNE function in SSDR.
So why do I want this? Because my HF amp and tuner is on my far left and my PC screen is on my far right and for safety I want to be able to keep my eyes on the amp & tuner while I’m tuning up. Doing this with the mouse makes this a bit more difficult and because the TUNE button latches if something goes wrong I have to move my eyes from the amp and tuner look back over to the PC get my mouse on the TUNE button and by then it might be too late.
So being able to use a momentary foot switch or hand switch would allow me to tune up more safely.
Although I keep a tune up chart for the most part my tune up goes quickly already this would just add another level of Speed and Safety to the Tune-Up Process.

Could the TX Req RCA jack work?

This sounds like the simplest solution.
