Hey Jim,

Thanks for the help. I loaded the file you attached, per your instructions. Same result/error.

When I click ‘File’ and then ‘Load Module’ and browse to the baofeng_common.py file there’s no message/confirmation upon opening the file. Just goes back to the blank Chirp screen. I assume that’s normal behavior.

Not sure what kind of file baofeng_common.py is (some sort of diagnostic?), but would the fact that my UV-5X3 is listed under ‘Btech’ rather than ‘Baofeng’ make any difference? i.e. is there a ‘btech_common.py' file?

Thanks again.

Jeff

Jeff,

1 save the attached file to where you keep you CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) files
2 click "Help"
3 enable "Enable Developer Functions"
4 click "File"
5 click "Load Module"
6 locate and load the file saved in step 1

Now try to read from your UV-5X3 and report back.
