I ordered it from Amazon last night. Looking forward to getting on some of the 220 machines in my area.
I looked at the comments on the radio, there was good mehh and not so good, but the good was very good so going to take my chance.
They all said it was Chirp programmable, that is very good...

I have a 5X3 and fortunate enough to have several 220 repeaters within handheld range. Very satisfied with the radio, and it is totally supported by CHIRP.

Well, that was a good load of answers. I think that the radio I am looking at
would be the BTECH UV-5X3. I would like to have access to all of those
bands.
The TYT-TH 9800 is an interesting option. Have to take a look at that one. I need
a radio like that for the wife's car so I can have a radio in that one when I drive it.
A big thanks to all of those who provided me info, and any that may come after.
Again, a big hats off to the folks who do the coding and other work on Chirp.

I’m not sure how many other will agree with me, but the TYT-TH 9800 quad band radio seems to work fine for the programming I have done. I know another Ham who has the same radio and he also seems to enjoy this as well.
The radio wasn’t all the expensive either.
Just my 2 cents, good luck.

I've got the BTECH UV-5X3. Triband, about $70.00, programmable with CHIRP. Small, light, easy to use and inexpensive. I haven't had it long, but it seems to work quite well so far. I have always preffered the UV-82 series over he UV-5 series until now, but I figured that for the price I would give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

I see all of the issues with these radio, I want to get something that will do the
job, I want at least 2m and 70cm. But would be even better to have something
tri-band.
So with all of what I have seen, which of these radios do you guys recommend.
Chirp does a great job with my Icom, but I would like to get something that I
can use and if something happens it is not my Icom handheld. Something
that if it falls into the water, or gets whacked I am not out a lot.
So what do you guys recommend?
