Console

Go to your steam library, right click on Portal and open properties -> "Set launch options".
Type in "-console" (without quotes). If you now start the game you should see the console, I would advice to bind the console to a key, like F11. Type in the console "bind F11 toggleconsole"
If the console does not open up for you then you need to enable the option. Go to options then Keyboard/Mouse then make sure Allow Developer Console is set to Enabled.

Problem solved! It appears the radios I've already tuned, will have the green light so I won't have to tune them again.
