Leilani,

Please double-check the manufacturer and model number on the radio and selected in chirp, BTech offers the UV-5x3, Baofeng offers the UV-5RX3 - they probably are not interchangeable.

 I am trying to download CHIRP onto my Baofeng UV-5X3 radio.

I have the latest CHIRP, the cable is attached to the computer and radio.

Here is the error code that I see when trying to do the initial from Radio: CHIRP - An error had occurred Error reading date from radio: not the amount of date we want. OK

I need your help so I can program the radio. Thank you.

Try a couple different radio profiles.

Does the download work?

Hi, Leilani. I have a BTECH UV-5X3 and had some simple issues trying to program. When you attached the cable to the radio, was the radio on or off? Is it on or off when you get the error message? (I had to make sure it was off when I plugged it in, then on when I tried to upload the radio data to CHIRP, and if it asked me to turn it on or off I did that) Is the cable pushed all the way into the radio? (not trying to be condescending...that was one of my problems...the plugs have to be pushed in hard) ...hoped that helped... de A Hendrix KO4UMY
