Jim, My first look at the mail for over a week, between moving and having to do some work out in NM...
Yes, regarding the brand, I had forgot the correct manufacturers name.
I will check those settings, I do not have the radio with me at the moment, as soon as I get back home and get that mess under control I will take a look at it. Where I notice it is when I hit the PTT button seems to take quite a bit of time to get up to speed TX wise.

I bought the BaoFeng UV-5x3 to get access to 220 mHz as I do not have a radio on that band
It is a BTech UV-5X3. It is not manufactured by Baofeng. That is why you won't find the UV-5X3 listed under the drop-down Vendor list for Baofeng. The Vendor BTECH must be selected to find the UV-5X3.
comes to mind is it is a wee bit slow in the RX<>TX transitions, but you learn to live with it.
Have you set menu 35 (STE) and menu 36 (RP-STE) to OFF? In CHIRP it would be...
Settings -> Basic Settings -> Squelch Tail Eliminate (HT to HT): {untick this setting} Settings -> Basic Settings -> Squelch Tail Eliminate (repeater): {change this setting to Off)
