Setting Tone Mode to "(None)" is the same has having menu 10 (R-DCS),
11 (R-CTCS), 12 (T-DCS) and 13 (T-CTCS) set to OFF. If the Tone,
ToneSql, DTCS Code, DTCS Rx Code DTCS Pol and Cross Mode columns don't
show up as blank, then click "View" in the menu bar and enable "Hide
unused fields" (which is the default on new CHIRP installations). Even
when this setting is not enabled, the values in these columns are
ignored.

The values in the columns mentioned above a only recognized when they
are enabled by the selected Tone Mode. And then only the columns
required by that mode are paid attention to. For example...

Tone Mode: Columns
(None):
Tone: Tone
TSQL: ToneSql
DTCS: DTCS Code, DTCS Pol
