[chirp_users] BTech UV-5X3

[Dave Hartman]

I recently bought a BTech UV-5x3 and found that 
the Wouxun cable works just fine for it...sort of.
I had to trim away a lot of the rubber/plastic so 
it fits all the way into the radio. On my Win7 
machine I had no problem loading frequencies. My 
Win10 machine, however, was a different story. It 
kept replacing the working cable driver with the 
"best" driver that doesn't work at all. So I 
cracked open the USB end and replaced the Prolific 
interface with an FTDI interface. After finding 
out that the RxD and TxD wires are reversed, I got 
it going on both machines.
The load from a stock source is a real nice touch!
