I can not get Chirp to work with anything. I have a RT Systems USB-57A cable and the TYT cable that came with the radio. I am aware of the problem with bootleg Prolific hips for the TYT cable, and have installed the appropriate driver from:

I am using a computer with an Asus ROG Strix B365F motherboard that dual boots Windows 10 and PCLinuxOS Debian Edition. I have tried known working USB ports on both the back and front of the computer. I have also tried an HP laptop running Windows 11 with the FT60R. Just for the record, I have also tried an extremely old copy or RT Systems ADMS-1E in Windows with the VX5R, and FT60 Commander, and the free TYT software for the UV8000D. On the FT60R and VX5R, after trying to read from the radios, I get a "Clone Error" on the radio display. When trying to read from the UV8000D, it appears to start, but the progress bar never goes beyond 0%.

My primary need is getting the TYT UV8000D programmed because that thing is impossible to program with the keypad.

Knowing that my problem is not just with Chirp on Windows 10, 11 and Linux, but also with other software, does anyone have some ideas to try other that buying RT Systems software and cables?

Thank you,
