To the best of my knowledge, Chirp can't do anything that the radio itself 
cannot do.  I do not believe the UV-5R family of radios have any way to do 
split tone.

One the other hand, there is NEVER any actual NEED to do split tone, because 
there is NEVER any actual NEED to use a Rx Tone at all.

Just program the correct tone, and stop putting the radio into TSQL mode 
because TSQL mode is totally unnecessary, you only need the tone on 
transmit, there is no need to have activate ToneSQuelch on receive.
