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->

Doc N0UKMthat 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.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 receivedone. what about the cross mode column. it is set to tone->tonetone->tone according to the chirp programming reference guide made by kc9hi which is posted to the link that i am including
