Hi Kevin (aka Doc),
CHIRP has lots of columns. And many of the columns have default values. However, a value in a column does not necessarily indicate that it is being utilized.
If you look (in the guide) at the "requires" column for Cross Mode, you will see Tone Mode=Cross. So without Tone Mode set to Cross, the Cross Mode setting is ignored. The columns Tone, ToneSql, DTCS Code and DTCS Rx Code all require a Tone Mode setting or Cross Mode setting (which requires Tone Mode=Cross) in order for one (or some combination of two) of them to be utilized.
To transmit a CTCSS tone only (no RX tone) set the following (N/A = not used, leave default) Tone Mode = Tone Tone = {desired CTCSS tone frequency} ToneSql = N/A DTCS Code = N/A DTCS Rx Code = N/A Cross Mode = N/A
To transmit a DCS code only (no RX code) set the following (N/A = not used, leave default) Tone Mode = Cross Tone = N/A ToneSql = N/A DTCS Code = {desired DCS code} DTCS Rx Code = N/A Cross Mode = DTCS->

done. what about the cross mode column. it is set to tone->tone
tone->tone according to the chirp programming reference guide made by kc9hi which is posted to the link that i am including http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRP%20Guide.pdf
well anyways on page two of this programming guide it has listed for the tone->tone description/comment: The radio will use CTCSS for transmit and a different CTCSS for receive
that description/comment is what is confusing. so what should be the setting for the cross mode if i only want a transmit ctcss tone and no receive tone.

what i am needing to do is this: program only a transmit tone and it
does
not matter if it is ctcss or dcs. the agencies i work with do not
require a
receive tone. only a transmit tone is needed.
Set the Tone Mode column to Tone.
