Ken,
I just tried it under Radioddity and the model you mentioned, and this is the error:
An error has occurredgraphic 289  Radio identifies as BTECH UV-5X3. Please
choose the proper vendor/model and try again.
OK

Per the CHIRP homepage, you need to use a different radio model to program the UV5X3:

UV-5RX3 (use Radioddity UV-5RX3

Hi,
I have a bTech UV5X3 and it seems all messed up, that is why I acquired it.
I can punch in simplex channels, but I cannot input duplex channels by hand.
Chirp will not read from the radio, and even though it is a tri-band, the
band button only toggles between 2M and 70Cm.
I was able to punch in a 1.5 M frequency and it worked on simplex.
But no matter what I do, Chirp says error reading from radio.
The cable works with the Baofengs I have.
Since the radio isn't toggling to the third band, I'm wondering if someone
flashed it with a UV5R image.
I'm not sure if it would work to upload to the radio with the proper image
if I can't download from it first.
Anyway, if someone has a backed original image of a UV5X3, I would much
appreciate a copy of it if you would.
Glenn
