[chirp_users] Settings to match Motorola PL tones

[Trevor Holyoak]

I haven't heard of that problem either. And the Baofeng radios are 
extremely common on the repeaters in my area. In fact, the only tone 
problem I've heard of (other than people simply not having it on when 
it's required) is with Yaesu radios using WIRES.

> Tone
> This sets the CTCSS tone to be transmitted if the Tone Mode is set to 
> Tone. In Cross mode, it has additional meanings (see description of 
> Cross Mode for more details).
>
> ToneSql
> This sets the CTCSS tone to be transmitted and used for receiver 
> squelch if the Tone Mode is set to TSQL. In Cross mode it has 
> additional meanings (see description of Cross Mode for more details).
>
> I too have used TSQL for many entries, and now wonder if I should be 
> using Tone, because I want to trigger the repeater with a PL tone, but 
> then want the reply no matter what.
