I cannot get my new radio (Baofeng model UV-5R-3 tri-band from MTC) to respond to a "Download From Radio" using CHIRP. The radio shows no indication that it is being accessed. My other Baofeng (regular UV-5R) is working on the same computer as expected.<br>
<br>
The CHIRP version I am using :<br>
<blockquote>CHIRP daily-20171126<br>
GTK 2.24.10<br>
PyGTK 2.24.0<br>
Python 2.7.3<br>
</blockquote>
The CHIRP error message:<br>
<blockquote>Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want.<br>
</blockquote>
Radio selected in CHIRP: BTECH UV-5X3<br>
<blockquote></blockquote>
I understand that the driver (uv5x3.py) has been patched to include this new model, but its not working for me.<br>
Are there any suggestions on how to cure this ...other than buy a better radio?
