Hello All,
I've read on a few amazon reviews that the Baofeng GT-5TP can be programmed using chirp using the UV-82HP setting. I can not get the radio to work with any of the Baofeng radio drop downs. I did download the actual Baofeng software and that works, and also works fine with my Anytone so it isn't a cord issue. Any thoughts on how to get chirp to communicate with the radio? The GT-5TP has version N82303 using the holding 3 button and turning on the radio.

Todd,
This is most likely a cable problem. I'll bet you get the "radio does not respond" error. Try downloading with the cable not plugged into the radio and you will get the same error. The 2-pin plug is not fully inserted into the socket.
The GT-3 and GT-5 cases have a ridge around the top of the speaker/mic socket well that interferes with the angled plug and keeps it from being fully inserted. See the section regarding the GT-3 on this page: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1
Hopefully this will solve your issue.
