[chirp_users] Problem Setting CTCSS Tones

I'm a new Chirp user and have probably overlooked something simple but have run into a problem I can't seem to figure out.

I'm using the latest build of Chirp, daily-20130411, and am running from a Mac Mini, OS X Lion, through an FTDI USB cable. No problems communicating with the radio, an FT-817ND.

I have broadbanded it so am using the generic FT-817ND template, not the US model, which doesn't seem to work with a broadbanded radio.

As stated, I have loaded an image of my radio, and have successfully modified several memories. However, I am unable to make the Home channels take a different tone frequency. No matter what I put in, it remains at 88.5 and gives an error box saying "rtone not supported on this channel."

The normal channels accept the Tone value without issue. I also just noticed that I can't set the Power on Home channels as well.

So am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? 

Thanks for the help,
Ron WA5VFA
