[chirp_users] How to use the software

[David]

Yes its true many repeaters require the off set. I knew that, so that 
clears up those 2 columns freq and off set.
Now how about the others what do they do? If a radio system does not use 
a setting I do not see a way to turn that setting off in Chirp.
