It's there if you look. Google found it.

Tone Modes in CHIRP
(None)
An empty Memory.tmode means that no tone is transmitted or received

Tone
A Memory.tmode of "Tone" means that the radio will transmit a single sub-audible tone, according to the Memory.rtone value. In this mode, the receiver is carrier squelch.

TSQL
A Memory.tmode of "TSQL" means that the radio will transmit a sub-audible tone, according to either the Memory.rtone or Memory.ctone value. In this mode, the receiver uses tone squelch with the same value as the transmitter. If the radio's feature set includes "has_ctone" (most Icom and Kenwood radios) then the value used in this case is Memory.ctone. Otherwise, use Memory.rtone.

DTCS
A Memory.tmode of "DTCS" means that the radio will transmit a DCS code, according to either the Memory.dtcs or Memory.rx_dtcs value. In this mode, the receiver uses DTCS squelch with the same value of the transmitter. If the radio's feature set includes "has_rx_dtcs" then the value used in this case is Memory.rx_dtcs. Otherwise, use Memory.dtcs.

TSQL-R
A Memory.tmode of "TSQL-R" means that the radio will squelch when the tone is received and use carrier squelch if not. This is usually used to listen for transmissions that should not be there. If the radio's feature set includes "has_ctone" then the value used in this case is Memory.ctone. Otherwise, use Memory.rtone.

DTCS-R
A Memory.mode of "DTCS-R" means that the radio will not transmit a sub-audible tone, but will squelch the receiver when the specified DCS is present and use carrier squelch when it is not. If the radio's feature set includes "has_rx_dtcs" then the value used in this case is Memory.rx_dtcs. Otherwise, use Memory.dtcs.

Cross
A Memory.tmode of "Cross" means that the radio will use an asymmetric squelch configuration according to the value of Memory.cross_mode:

Tone->Tone
A cross_mode of "Tone->Tone" means the radio will transmit one sub-audible and will use another tone to open the receive squelch. The tone values are in Memory.rtone and Memory.ctone respectively. By convention, the driver code generally expects "Cross": "Tone->Tone" to be used only when the two tones are different, and a mode of "TSQL" to be used when the tones are the same.

Tone->DTCS
A cross mode of "Tone->DTCS" means that the radio will use a sub-audible tone for transmit, according to Memory.rtone, and a DCS code for receiver squelch. If the radio's feature set includes "has_rx_dtcs" then the value used in this case is Memory.rx_dtcs. Otherwise, use Memory.dtcs

DTCS->Tone
A cross mode of "DTCS->Tone" means that the radio will use a DCS code for transmit, according to Memory.dtcs, and a sub-audible tone for receiver squelch. If the radio's feature set includes "has_ctone" then the value used in this case is Memory.ctone. Otherwise, use Memory.rtone.

->Tone
A cross mode of "->Tone" means that the radio will not transmit a sub-audible tone, but will enable tone squelch on the receiver. If the radio's feature set includes "has_ctone" then the value used in this case is Memory.ctone. Otherwise, use Memory.rtone.

->DTCS
A cross mode of "->DTCS" means that the radio will not transmit a sub-audible tone, but will enable DCS squelch on the receiver. If the radio's feature set includes "has_rx_dtcs" then the value used in this case is Memory.rx_dtcs. Otherwise, use Memory.dtcs.

DTCS->
A cross mode of "DTCS->" means that the radio will use a DCS code for transmit, according to Memory.dtcs. In this mode, the receiver is carrier squelch.

DTCS->DTCS
A cross mode of "DTCS->DTCS" means that the radio will transmit a DCS code and will use a DSC code to open the squelch. The code values are Memory.dtcs and Memory.rx_dtcs respectively. By convention, CHIRP generally uses "Cross":"DTCS->DTCS" when the two codes are different, and uses a mode of "DTCS" when they are the same.

Is there an updated version of the MemoryEditorColumns article? I understand the choices are different for each radio I would like to be familiar with all the choices provided when opening a NEW from the FILE tab. Thanks.
