The vast majority of Baofeng/Btech radios do not have field programmable (upgradeable) firmware, so I suspect the answer is 'never, unless we go in and update the firmware to accommodate this and build more of this radio with the new firmware, but your current radio will never do this'.
Does Baofeng/Btech offer their own CPS that offers this ability? I suspect it does not.

CHIRP can't make a radio do something that it doesn't support. The BTECH MURS-V1 support was developed from the BTECH GMRS-V1 support which was developed from the Baofeng UV-82 support. The UV-82 supports adjustment of squelch thresholds so that support was transferred to the GMRS-V1 and eventually to the MURS-V1. It was just assumed that the BTECH models supported this feature. Apparently they do not.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate the response.
The note from Katy at Baofeng was a little vague. “At this time the squelch limits cannot be adjusted” — What does “at this time” mean? That the feature may somehow be enabled in the future? How would they do that? In a new hardware release (the -V2?)? With a firmware update? Or with communication to Chirp developers to explain necessary changes to the driver for the MURS-V1?
Any of those are probably a long way off in the future, if they happen at all, so no point in holding my breath. Oh well. It was worth looking into.
Thanks again! —Bill
