It's a $250 aviation radio, it transmits VHF-AM.

That radio most certainly isn't on the radar of Hams, so what you seem to be looking for is a replacement for CS-A16, the OEM programming software.
To get this radio to be supported by CHIRP you'd need to convince a volunteer programmer to take on the project and you'd likely need to provide the team with a sample radio for development/testing.
I think it would be hard to get a volunteer programmer to invest their time in a VHF radio that neither covers a single ham band and lacks the ability to transmit FM.

What's the possibility of supporting an Icom IC-A16. Are aviation radios inherently different from HAM radios?
Thanks.
