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.

Set the Tone Mode column to Tone.
