 h1. Understanding CHIRP's columns 

 {{>toc}} 

 This document is intended to help users understand the meaning of each column in the channel editor. 

 h2. Loc 

 This is the location or "channel number" of the memory. The limits of what can be in this field are defined by your radio. 

 h2. Frequency 

 This defines the receive frequency of the channel in Megahertz. If Duplex is set to None, then it is also the transmit frequency of the channel. 

 h2. Name 

 This is the alphanumeric label for the memory, as displayed on the front panel. The length and valid characters    are defined by what the radio is capable of supporting. 

 h2. Tone Mode 

 This sets the mode used to transmit or receive squelch tones (or related selective calling technologies). The following explains what the options means: 

 * (None): No tone or code is transmitted, receive squelch is open or carrier-triggered. 
 * Tone: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is open or carrier-triggered. The tone used is that which is set in the *Tone* column. 
 * TSQL: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is tone-coded to the _same_ tone. The tone used is that which is set in the *ToneSql* column. 
 * DTCS: A single DTCS/DCS code is transmitted, receive squelch is digitally tone-coded to the _same_ code. The code used is that which is set in the *DTCS Code* column. 
 * Cross: A complex arrangement of squelch technologies is in use. See the definition of the *Cross Mode* column for details.
