How to generate a CRC-16 from C#

Question

I am trying to generate a CRC-16 using C#. The hardware I am using for RS232 requires the input string to be HEX. The screenshot below shows the correct conversion, For a test, I need 8000 to be 0xC061, however the C# method that generates CRC-16 must be able to convert any given HEX string.

I have tried using Nito.KitchenSink.CRC

I have also tried the below which generates 8009 when 8000 is inputted -

public string CalcCRC16(string strInput)
    {
        ushort crc = 0x0000;
        byte[] data = GetBytesFromHexString(strInput);
        for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
        {
            crc ^= (ushort)(data[i] << 8);
            for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
            {
                if ((crc & 0x8000) > 0)
                    crc = (ushort)((crc << 1) ^ 0x8005);
                else
                    crc <<= 1;
            }
        }
        return crc.ToString("X4");
    }

    public Byte[] GetBytesFromHexString(string strInput)
    {
        Byte[] bytArOutput = new Byte[] { };
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strInput) && strInput.Length % 2 == 0)
        {
            SoapHexBinary hexBinary = null;
            try
            {
                hexBinary = SoapHexBinary.Parse(strInput);
                if (hexBinary != null)
                {
                    bytArOutput = hexBinary.Value;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }
        return bytArOutput;
    }

Here we go; note that this is a specific flavor of CRC-16 - it is confusing to say just "CRC-16". This borrows some implementation specifics from http://www.sanity-free.com/ - note I have made it static rather than instance-based.

using System;

static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string input = "8000";
        var bytes = HexToBytes(input);
        string hex = Crc16.ComputeChecksum(bytes).ToString("x2");
        Console.WriteLine(hex); //c061
    }
    static byte[] HexToBytes(string input)
    {
        byte[] result = new byte[input.Length / 2];
        for(int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++)
        {
            result[i] = Convert.ToByte(input.Substring(2 * i, 2), 16);
        }
        return result;
    }

    public static class Crc16
    {
        const ushort polynomial = 0xA001;
        static readonly ushort[] table = new ushort[256];

        public static ushort ComputeChecksum(byte[] bytes)
        {
            ushort crc = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; ++i)
            {
                byte index = (byte)(crc ^ bytes[i]);
                crc = (ushort)((crc >> 8) ^ table[index]);
            }
            return crc;
        }

        static Crc16()
        {
            ushort value;
            ushort temp;
            for (ushort i = 0; i < table.Length; ++i)
            {
                value = 0;
                temp = i;
                for (byte j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
                {
                    if (((value ^ temp) & 0x0001) != 0)
                    {
                        value = (ushort)((value >> 1) ^ polynomial);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        value >>= 1;
                    }
                    temp >>= 1;
                }
                table[i] = value;
            }
        }
    }
}
