Hi, last month ago I purchased two of these radios and after attempting to program them with the provided software to no avail, I was introduced to CHIRP by a friend of a friend. He had just completed successfully programming two separate brand name’s of radios. However when we got to the Baofeng GT-3TP radios his luck to change. We have tried everything we could find on the CHIRP WEB PAGE but have never gotten beyond cloning screen, it says: “AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED”. We were using the BF-F8HP model selection and have followed every direction we could find, step by step and did so utilizing Windows XP, 7 and 10. Nothing worked for us! I am now on my own in trying to program these and am a beginner… So, can anyone advise me what to do next please?
Thanks in advance,
Danny
Danny,
One of the problems with the GT-3 series case style is that the ridge around the 2-pin socket well can prevent the 2-pin plug from being fully inserted into the socket. No programming software will work if you don't have a complete and working connection between the radio and computer. See this page for details of a possible fix.

I that isn't the problem, it would help if you would include the debug.log file. This page show you how to locate the debug.log file.
