Re: [chirp_users] chirp-daily-20160419-win32: why does it insist on certain defaults?
It seems that though I can makes changes when I have unchecked Smart Tone Mode, CHIRP still either does not save what I see on the screen, or it corrupts the file that I saved when it reads it the next time. I consider a file corrupted when some of it is changed by a program, and I did not want that change. It seems in consistent to permit the changes and saves, then change the data the next time the file is read.

You're going to have to describe what you're observing rather than the conclusion you came to based on that observation.
In some cases, after changing the value in a dropdown, you may need to select another channel before it commits the change. Hitting "refresh" next to the memory range fields will accomplish the same. (AFAIK, this is only an issue on radios like the UV5R where the value it stores in the tone field is a combination of multiple Chirp fields (Tone Mode + Tone)).

Rich,
When using CHIRP with Windows, once you click the tone to choose the frequency that you want, you have to click on another cell or press the [Enter] key to actually make the selection permanent. Up until that point you can press [Escape] or click [Refresh] and nothing will have changed.
This above isn't necessary with Linux and I assume the same with Mac OS X.

Ah, that explains why I couldn't reproduce it here.
