[chirp_devel] Anyone up for a new model?

[Dan Smith]

Hi CHIRP developers,

Several vendors in the past have expressed an interest in helping get
one or more of their radios supported in CHIRP by offering a hardware
loan or donation to get it going. Jetstream has done this before and is
looking for someone to work on their latest model.

The radio in question is a JT2705M dual-band mobile:

Jetstream is offering to donate a sample radio to a CHIRP developer who
can work on a driver for it. For these sorts of arrangements, the
expectation is usually at least basic memory programming functionality,
but with an eye towards complete replacement of the factory software at
some point.

If you are interested (and feel capable), Jetstream is willing to cover
shipping of the radio and a programming cable to you (non-US people
included!) Please speak up here or contact me privately if you would
like to volunteer.

Thanks to all of you for the work you do to help CHIRP, and thanks very
much to Jetstream for supporting the project as well!
