use the control tab command to switch to the menus window.
Also, the ctcss fields are set up one for a transmit tone, and one for
receive tone.
You can tell the difference by the terminology.  The transmit tone will say,
simply, tone, and the receive tone will say ctcss, dcs, excetra.
There has to be two fields so you can pick different frequencies for each.
There should be two fields for the correct HZ frequency for tx and rx tones
as well.
Just arrow  to off, or none if you don't want to use them.
