I expect the lack of response means "no" :)

This is a very common pattern to many of the other chinese radios, which
AFAICT, blatantly copied it from kenwood. You should look at some of the
other chinese radio drivers to see if there is one you can easily bolt
onto. Many of the models we support are implemented as effective aliases
of other models. It may be that your radio is strikingly similar to one
of the others and that you just need to implement the differences.
