This very well could be common knowledge and intuitive to many people but to the ones like me out there, just wanted to let you know about my epiphany as to why the radio will sometimes save tones and sometimes not. I'm a little OCD and like to double check things, especially settings. That is not beneficial in this case with this radio and checking CTCSS/DCS. If your repeater needs DCS and you put the correct tones in and want to check that CTCSS says "OFF", just entering in the CTCSS menu option will turn your DCS tones to "OFF".
Like I said, this may be obvious and common knowledge to most, but it wasn't to me so I just wanted to share in hopes of saving others the confusion. If you're double checking all the tones, you're messing up. Ironically.
