No, John. I just downloaded what was on the radio when I bought it. There are many columns that ask for information that is not available from the various repeaters and don’t seem to have a bearing on the use. Things like “cross mode” and “tone sql” and “DTCS code” and DTCS Rx code” and etc. Didn’t realize I could make a different template, but what if I were to leave off something important? How is one to know?

Whit,
One thing that I recommend for new CHIRP users is to select View from the menu bar and then enable "Hide Unused Fields".
Take a look as some of the CHIRP guides that are available on the miklor.com website. The are geared more for the UV-5R but still might be helpful.

The page "Understanding CHIRP's Columns on the CHIRP website is also useful.
