Another way to handle this is to create a custom property on the 
buttons and assign those stings to the custom property:

set the myCharacters of button "B1" to "GK"
set the myCharacters of button "B2" to "HK"
etc.

Now you can:

put it into comparator
repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons on this card
   if the myCharacters of button i contains comparator then send mouseUp 
to button i
end repeat

(warning: untested code; may require tweaking...)
