When programming with CHIRP running under Windows, after selecting the
tone in the dropdown menu, you must either press the [Enter] key or
click on to another cell to make the selection "stick". If you fail to
do this, the setting will revert back to the original selection. You
can click the [Refresh] button to see if the new selection "stuck" (if
it reverts back the new setting wasn't fully selected).

You don't have to worry about this when running Linux or MacOS X.
