Description

After testing it appears STE frequency 55.2Hz is the reliable STE tone compared the other option.

I would suggest renaming STE tone "55.2Hz" to "55.2Hz - Recommended" as it will cut off the squelch tail from every radio I could test with.

In other words, the bug is that if you don't know which tone to choose, and choose the wrong one, it will appear that STE does not work. Of course, I'm sure people smarter than me would just know that, but I don't see harm in having a suggested value for the noobs like myself :)

I tested transmitting from a Retevis RT21v, a Radioddity Mu-5, and a Baofeng UV-82.

With this setting the radio does not eliminate the squelch tail on TX if CTCSS is enabled on the channel, but will on RX. Still trying other combinations to fix squelch tail on CTCSS.

Note: the log is actually a .zip file, just rename it because of the file size limitations.
