I believe 'NO' is the setting you are looking for...

txtoctype=notone	; Transmit tone control type: no,phase,notone
			; no - CTCSS tone encoding with no hang time
			; phase - encode CTCSS and reverse phase
			; AKA ("reverse burst") before unkeying TX
			; notone - encode CTCSS and stop sending tone before unkeying TX
			; AKA ("chicken burst")
