[chirp_users] Newly Released Radio Gets Same Day CHIRP Support
13-July-2016 - Baofeng Tech releases BTECH UV-50X3 tri-band mobile radio - CHIRP daily build provides nearly full support for the UV-50X3
I wish to thank Baofeng Tech for supplying a pre-production radio sample for use in the development of the CHIRP driver. I spent a lot of time over the last 4+ weeks quietly poking at the memory of this radio. I also want to thank the members of the [chirp_devel] mailing list that provided help in one way or another. You guys are a great resourse.
Baofeng Tech must have liked the result, their website states "The UV-50X3 is the first radio to exclusively only use CHIRP software for programming."

Sweet, this is pretty awesome! When I started CHIRP in early July 2008 (almost exactly eight years ago!) I never once thought we'd see the day where a vendor released a radio with CHIRP as the primary/only programming solution.
Thanks for your work on this milestone Jim!
