The official CHIRP website is:

Here's the procedure for requesting a new radio...

If you would like to open a request, you would need to

- Go to the CHIRP website. (link above)

- Register to the website (upper right corner)

- Select the Issues Tab and verify that the request for the new radio hasn't already been submitted.

- If it's not found, select the New Issue tab and submit your request.

- Check back periodically to review the status of your request.

At that time a volunteer interested in taking on the project will respond to the request.

In most cases, a loaner radio is required so it can be backward engineered.
