I have now spent many hours browsing the various web pages, and I think it will be many more before I am done, and have culled what I need for my radios.

But I still opine that CHIRP docs are not clear.
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns
Tone: CTCSS tones are used. Transmit tone is taken from the Tone column, receive tone from the ToneSql column.
Is this true? Not intuitive.
See
Tone->Tone: This means use the Tone value for transmit tone, and the ToneSql value for receive squelch

<blank>: Indicates that no method is used for this, either transmit or receive
I don't have <blank> so far.

->Tone: This means do not transmit a Tone or DTCS Code, but use the ToneSql value for receive squelch
Right now, this is counterintuitive to me.
And partly because I have an option not address on the page, TSQL, which I expect to mean that no PL code is used for Tx, but is used to open the squelch on Rx.

The page referenced above is one that I have not read completely yet.
