I played with this briefly and it really puts a damper on my own 
(current) only use of the tune button, which is to check power levels 
before starting a transmit cycle. With this patch I guess I'd have to 
just adjust it on the fly. It's not a huge loss, but it does make the 
button pretty much useless until I get an automatic tuner and thus am 
using it in the originally intended manner.

Granted, the root cause for why I always have to tweak power levels is 
that my rig needs different input levels on every band to get the same 
power out. So really what would make me happy would be some way to 
program that curve into wsjtx so the attenuator levels can be left 
alone, in which case this patch wouldn't be an issue. I'll think about 
how to make a sensible feature out of that and report back later.

I don't want to demand a checkbox or something, because I don't feel 
terribly strongly about it, just letting you know it's not a slam-dunk.
