Rick,

You would probably understand what is going on better if you click on
View and enabled "Hide Unused Fields".

When Tone Mode is set to Tone, only the Tone column is used. You set
the Tone column frequency to 100.0 and leave the ToneSql column set to
the default 88.5 (it is ignored). When you press the PTT button a
100.0 Hz CTCSS tone is transmitted but no tone is required to open
your receivers squelch. This is like setting menu 11 (R-CTCS) to OFF
and menu 13 (T-CTCS) to 100.0 Hz.

When Tone Mode is set to TSQL, only the ToneSql column is used. You
set the ToneSql column to 100.0 and leave the Tone column set to the
default 88.5 (it is ignored). When you press the PTT button a 100.0 Hz
CTCSS tone is transmitted. And when you receive a 100.0 Hz CTCSS tone
is required to open the squelch of your radio. This is like setting
menu 11 (R-CTCS) to 100.0 Hz and menu 13 (T-CTCS) to 100.0 Hz.

So if you are putting values into the unused columns, CHIRP will put
them back to their default values (the value that all unused fields
should have).

Take a look at these guides and examples:
