W9CR has written an article about changing the band limits of the CDM here:

It's not just editing some hex values, but also retuning the radio.

Chirp has a lot of features, and not all of them are supported by every
radio. The waris.py implements some fields in the Settings pane of Chirp,
but doesn't implement Memory channel read/write. I don't think this is an
issue of funding, but rather of finding the intersection of people who have
the expertise to add this support, the hardware, and the time. I only meet
two out of three of those criteria myself. You'll still need CPS for
channel programming.
