Tim,
Unfortunately the part of the screen that would help determine the problem has been cropped off. But just guessing, you are not choosing Vendor: Radioddity and Model: UV-5RX3 if it was manufactured for Radio oddity or Vendor: MTC and Model: UV-5R-3 if it was manufactured for MTC.
If neither of the above solves the issue, attach a debug.log file and/or the downloaded CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file.

Thanks for your help, Jim.
If it's not already obvious, I'm a total n00b at this ... got my license 2 weeks ago!
It's not either of those Vendors: I bought it here in Canada (here is the listing, if it's OK to show here: https://www.fleetwooddp.com/products/baofeng-uv-5r-iii-tri-band-vhf-220-uhf-amateur-ham-radio )
I downloaded from radio and then modified that file ... I can "Reset All," and do it over if necessary (but I'd rather know what the problem is, if on my side)
Baofeng is the only branding on it - but I don't see where would I change it in CHIRP, anyway(?) ... *.img file attached.
Cheers,
Tim

You are using Vendor: Baofeng Model: UV-5R which is a dual-band VHF/UHF radio. It will not support the 220 MHz band. You should be choosing Vendor: Radioddity Model: UV-5RX3 to get the added support for the 220 MHz band.

Hi Jim,
Changing the Vendor to Radioddity worked, thank you.
Perhaps the wiki and/or profiles should be updated to include this workaround (i.e., using the Radioddity profile for a non-Radioddity X3 radio).
Cheers,
Tim
