Jim, thanks for your dozens of informative and cutting edge replies. Many of us would be at a loss without your knowledge. Be well!

The one sold by Radioddity is called the GT-5R. https://www.radioddity.com/products/baofeng-gt-5r As you can see from the Radioddity page, they tend to cost less ($24.99) than the radios that can TX across the whole 130-179 MHz and 400-520 MHz ranges, so many owners mistakenly purchased them to get the "lowest price".

[chirp_users] Btech UV-5X3
by Gary 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Power on massage field is grey'd out for Btech UV-5X3 so cannot set message. No error messages. All other features to upload programing to this radio work ! I can activate the power on message via the radio menu but it reverts back to no message after uploading from CHIRP. I tested this same daily build to activate the power on message on a BF-F8HP, BF-F8+III as well as a Yaesu FT2900, all worked without issue? Radio firmware is in the 2nd graphic below Third graphic below, for reference, is BF-F8HP showing active power on message field

Take the warning with a grain of salt Kerry. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Kerry Whittle <t2ckerry(a)gmail.com> To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: [chirp_users] Virus warning Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2021 13:45:02 -0500 For the second time I’ve gotten a warning from McAfee that there was a virus in the daily download, this time in chirp-daily-20210919-installer.exe. The first time I saw this behavior was with the 20210826 daily, before I was on the list to report it. The reported virus is Real Protect-EC!16F97D3AFE24 Not sure if it’s real or a false positive but I figured I should let you know. The file has been quarantined on my system.
