Re: [chirp_users] ICOM IC-2100H

How do I make the tone squelch inactive for the receive so I can add some frequencies to the current list and then write back to the radio?

Your radio stores the ToneSql (CTCSS Tone) value all the time, whether it's being used or not. What controls if it is used is the Tone Mode, which must be set to TSQL in order to use the value.

Can I just "hide" the ToneSql column and then when I do the write the ToneSql will not be written to the radio?

The ToneSql value is stored all the time. It cannot be "not written to the radio". However, if you want CHIRP to hide the values that are not used based on the tone mode, check the View->Hide Unused Values option.
