...A) it's probably bad form to give your objects numeric names. Just
confuses the poor compiler and makes extra work for it.

B) Try

if the hilite of btn "Radio3" of group "1223" is true then
    put "Yes" into Field "fldWhatever" of card "cardWithField"
  else
    put "No" into Field "fldWhatever" of card "cardWithField"
end if


But what I would really do instead, given the situation you described,
is put the following into the script of the group:

on mouseUp
  local tResult
  switch the hilitedButton of me
    case 1
      put "Yes" into tResult
      break
    default
      put "No" into tResult
  end switch
  put tResult into field "fldWhatever" of card "cardWithField"
end mouseUp
