For the Baofeng UV-5R and variants……..when programming a simplex frequency channel…… will setting the Duplex option in CHIRP to “Off” result in suppressing the TX in simplex operations?

The reason for asking is as follows: I have several police and fire freqs programmed into my radios, i.e., simplex. I want to make sure that even if I make a mistake and hit the TX key, I will not TX on these freqs.

I have in the past programmed these memory channels using split mode and setting the TX on a dummy freq well away from the agency RX/TX freq.

Thanks for any help !!
