if you can download from the radio and it comes out ok i guess uploading will not brick the radio....

Thanks, John. I was hoping that was the case. I will download the latest version of Chirp and program my new radio when it arrives.

There’s no risk at all. It’s just not mentioned on the CHIRP home page.

There's some mention of that model on this page:
https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-MOBILE-UV-50X2-Mobile-Radio/dp/B06XK83VRV
Only this models are officially supported:
*BTECH*
- GMRS-V1
- UV-2501
- UV-2501+220
- UV-5001
- UV-50X3
- UV-5X3
It's your radio, if you want to take the risk using CHIRP on an unsupported radio, go ahead. The worst that could happen is that you convert a functioning radio into a brick of non functioning plastic. You can always buy a new radio.

I just ordered a BTECH UV-50X2 and was going to download the latest version of ChiRP to program it. Looking at the list of supported radios, however, I see the UV-50X3 and the UV-5001 (the predecessor to the UV-50X2) but not my radio. Which model should I select? I suppose I could just try different ones and see which works, but I worry about bricking the radio. Any advice?
