[chirp_users] ctcss tones written wrong? (ft-817nd)

[Marco IZ3GME]

I uploaded a patch that will be included in next days build.
Please download it, test and report results.
I expect it to set correctly the tone frequency now, it does in my 817 
at least ;)

To correct with chirp any "dirty" memory generated from previous version 
the easiest way is to literally import the image into itself. Open the 
image, File->Import, select the image, then click "all" to select all 
memories and then import.

tnx agian for your report
