Some FRS radios call CTCSS a 'subchannel'. You'll need to refer to
your FRS radio manual to see if they're doing the same. There's
usually a table of tone values in the manual that correspond to each
subchannel.

Once you know the values you want, you can read about putting them
into Chirp here:

You'll probably want Tone Mode TSQL so that you only hear
transmissions on the designated 'subchannel'/CTCSS tone.

Make sure to set Duplex to "off" so that you don't accidentally
transmit. There are no radios supported by Chirp with the proper
certification for transmitting on FRS channels.
