[chirp_devel] Anyone up for a new model?
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:
http://www.jetstream-usa.biz/product_info.php?products_id=72614
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!

Hi Dan,
I'd be willing to to a crack at that radio.
I think it would look good in my truck too :)
Cheers Angus

Hi Angus,

Thanks for responding (and to the others who have emailed me privately).
I should have said something about this in the original mail, but I want to make sure to leave this "open" for at least one rotation of the earth to make sure we give everyone a chance to volunteer. I'll let the people footing the bill do the hard part of choosing amongst the volunteers.
I can't say I was expecting multiple responses within minutes. Maybe we should make it a little more clear to the other vendors that we have people that "will work 4 radios" :)
I think it would look good in my truck too :)
"Will display proudly" and "free marketing" -- noted :D
Thanks!

That sounds fair. I look forward to seeing who they choose.

This appears to be a variant of the BTech UV-5001 that Pavel and I are currently working on.

Ah, good to know. May be an easy job then.
What is the status on that? Are you having trouble with it or is it going well?

For some reason, Windows is giving us trouble. The memory is mostly mapped out and we have everything relative to the per-channel settings already implemented. We just need to get the download/upload working for Windows.
