[1000mp] FT1000MP Field TUNE mode

My Paragon, OMNI-V & OMNI-VI+ all have a nice little button called TUNE.

Want to adjust an antenna tuner or amplifier? Push the TUNE button, adjust,
push the TUNE button again to deactivate. Easy.

Where is the TUNE button for my Field? The only reference I can find is in
the manual on page 78. To quote: " Pressing the [TUNE] key activates a
transmitted carrier for as long as the key is held in, this is useful for
adjustment of a linear amplifier or external antenna tuner, or for antenna
comparisons over the air."

However, this key is on the FH-1 remote control keypad.

I can't believe that I have to spend another $100 for an accessory to get a
TUNE key. Surely, there must be a way to activate this without the FH-1.
Can someone please point out what I am missing in this interpretation.

Tnx & 73,

Rick, W6RKC
