[chirp_users] help programming public safety information

[Jim Unroe]

Hi Kevin (aka Doc),

CHIRP has lots of columns. And many of the columns have default values.
However, a value in a column does not necessarily indicate that it is being
utilized.

If you look (in the guide) at the "requires" column for Cross Mode, you
will see Tone Mode=Cross. So without Tone Mode set to Cross, the Cross Mode
setting is ignored. The columns Tone, ToneSql, DTCS Code and DTCS Rx Code
all require a Tone Mode setting or Cross Mode setting (which requires Tone
Mode=Cross) in order for one (or some combination of two) of them to be
utilized.

To transmit a CTCSS tone only (no RX tone) set the following (N/A = not
used, leave default)
Tone Mode = Tone
Tone = {desired CTCSS tone frequency}
ToneSql = N/A
DTCS Code = N/A
DTCS Rx Code = N/A
Cross Mode = N/A

To transmit a DCS code only (no RX code) set the following (N/A = not used,
leave default)
Tone Mode = Cross
Tone = N/A
ToneSql = N/A
DTCS Code = {desired DCS code}
DTCS Rx Code = N/A
Cross Mode = DTCS->
