Any chance of getting it added to chirp? Their software sux or chirp has me spoiled. :)
I have the KT8900 version, and would like to see it on CHIRP for the same reason.

There is a section of the chirp website where requests for new radios can be entered. It is checked by the actual developers.
They may request a donor radio to be backward engineered. Just a thought.

I think it's a loaner not a donor radio ....

You are correct. My error.
A Loaner is what they may need.

As a developer let me say that a donor would be more appreciated ... but a loaner it's enough ;)

If ten owners who want CHIRP set up for the JT6188 (and sisters) would each chip in $10, then a radio could be purchased and donated to the developers and your wishes would come true.
$10 for a good programmer - what a deal. If I had one of these radios, I'd be the first to contribute.
Problem solved !

Yep, this is doable, but please don't use the main donation link on the front page if you're trying to collect a bounty for something like this. Deal with a developer directly.
If a developer wants to take on that model (which is something that should be declared before anyone tries to contribute towards a specific model), coordination of who is willing to donate should happen in the ticket for the referenced model, I think. If enough people are on board, then money could be sent via paypal or google wallet to the developer.
Even better would be one user offering to collect up the small bits and order the radio to be shipped to the developer. It may sound like a small thing, but anything a user can do to help make the process easier for the developer is welcomed!
This is a hard thing to do with $300 radios, but today's age of $50 chinese radios certainly opens up this avenue. I will also say, by the way, that the radio drivers in chirp that are the best (most stable, most complete) are those that are for radios the developers own. A loaner radio is great, and usually ends up with minimal support before the developer has to send it back. A donor radio means the developer can spend much more time implementing lots of functionality and fixing bugs when they come up. It's terrible to implement a driver, send the radio back, and have someone report a bug a week later that would be easily squashed if the developer still had the radio in-hand.
