Tone versus T Sql

[pantherpaw9]

In program softwares like CHIRP and others, there are 4 or 5 different choices for the Tone Mode column.  2 of them are called "Tone" and "T Sql" which I assume stands for "Tone Squelch".  What is the difference and how do you know when to use each one.  I think the other choices are for digital radios or something like that which I'm assuming I don't need so I'm basically concerned with the aforementioned 2 items for tone.  Can anyone educate me on this?

As far as I know, you are spot on. Sorry for throwing "noise floor" in there. Anytime I do that, it is unintentional.

 

At the rate you are going, I'll be asking you questions in a few weeks. Awesome! :)

HaHa!  I doubt that, but thanks anyway.  I have a small advantage over most people that jump into this hobby because I have an engineering degree, but its in civil engineering, and I failed Physics 202 Electricity 2 times before the professor finally passed me because I was driving him to the brink of insanity with my questions.  So I know just enough to get me in trouble as they say.
