I've been having trouble getting Chirp to work with my Baofeng GT3 and a Windows 8 machine. Chirp just cannot read the usb port and the radio. I have tried a different cable (that ironically worked under Win 7) and this cable worked with a different radio (same model) and Win 10. The software I have installed is chirp-daily-20180707-installer.exe. When the cable is plugged in I can see the description in device manager.

Some suggestions about where to go from here would be appreciated.
