Jim, this is absolutely a good suggestion. My 3 UV5R's acted very strangely with those 2 set to default, which is on. I didn't realize that they got turned back on after a total reset. The radios each behaved badly and in different ways. Not receiving well was the main one.

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)
