Thanks for the tips. They led me in the right direction. My problem happened to be that CHIRP was trying to reach the radio on COM1 although the driver is actually on COM3. I didn't notice the COM1 detail until I'd checked everything else, but I learned some useful stuff in the process of doing that.
