"The software is really the key to the whole programming procedure. There is an excellent open source program called CHIRP which stands for CHInese Radio Project."

Which has no basis in fact. The oldest CHIRP build that I have in my archives (v0.1.8) only supports Japanese (Icom) radios. Support for any Chinese radios (Jetstream, Wouxun) didn't appear for more than 2 years later.
CHIRP v0.1.8 (December 2008): Icom CHIRP v0.1.9 (May 2009): Icom CHIRP v0.1.10 (June 2010): Icom, Yaesu CHIRP v0.1.11 (March 2011): Alinco, Jetstream, Wouxun, Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom
