Tones aka PL aka CTCSS:

Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System - The RadioReference Wiki

There is a field in Chrip for entering Receive and Transmit Tones into your radio. Try not to transmit on pubsafety freqs

Ok thanks.

So the below would be the correct config for the first message?

 

[mciupa]

Set Duplex to Off. Please. . .

Ok. What does Duplex do; what's the difference between "off" and "(None)"?

It is clear you are not familiar with programming scanners or radios, for what you are doing I would just stick to using a scanner instead of a device that is capable of transmitting.
