[chirp_users] IMG File Request

[John La]

 CHIRP is very specific.
Only use the file for a BTech UV-5X3 (see attached)
I also attached a copy of my image file for a BTech 5X3.

This should get you going.
Stay safe and healthy.

Images for many of the radios supported by CHIRP are available in the
CHIRP repository.

The image for the BTech UV-5X3 is an original image taken from a radio
while it was still in its factory state. Here is a direct link.
