  1. Hi everyone, I am new to the radio scene and now have my GMRS license and a couple of radios. Trying to get set up and to be honest the documentation sucks! My basic needs may be slightly different. We are using the radios to communicate at festivals where there is no cell coverage. In the manual, they talk about selective calling. If I understand correctly, we set up the tones in both radios so that they only respond if the other radio broadcasts it's triggering tone. But it is not clear at all about the differences between tone burst, ctcss and dcs. Are there trade offs between them? Is there a reason to choose one over another? How is this set up in CHIRP? I tried setting up one channel to test but it was clearly not working. I searched and found some information, but when I tried setting Tone Mode to DTCS, I could set the DTCS Code but the DTCS Rx Code disappeared and vice versa. Again, there isn't much as far as documentation on which columns need to be set and why you should pick one over the other. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks Fred
