Hi CHIRP developers,
Several vendors in the past have expressed an interest in helping get one or more of their radios supported in CHIRP by offering a hardware loan or donation to get it going. Jetstream has done this before and is looking for someone to work on their latest model.
The radio in question is a JT2705M dual-band mobile:

Jetstream is offering to donate a sample radio to a CHIRP developer who can work on a driver for it. For these sorts of arrangements, the expectation is usually at least basic memory programming functionality, but with an eye towards complete replacement of the factory software at some point.
If you are interested (and feel capable), Jetstream is willing to cover shipping of the radio and a programming cable to you (non-US people included!) Please speak up here or contact me privately if you would like to volunteer.
Thanks to all of you for the work you do to help CHIRP, and thanks very much to Jetstream for supporting the project as well!
