CHIRP

It doesn't appear that the Radioddity MU-5 radio is support in CHIRP. Is there a supported Radioddity radio option to use instead? If not, could you please accept this as a request for support for this radio?

The MU-5 (MURS 5 channel) looks like a variant of the GM-30 (GMRS 30 channel) radio that is not yet supported.

I have a MU-5 in my possession, what can I do to help this move along? Any special packet captures I can run? I don't know a lot about radios but I have an OEM programming cable, and work in the IT field with proficient access to both Linux and Windows copies of chirp. This radio seems to use similar software to the UV-13PRO, in fact it almost lets be clone the radio using the P15UV / UV-13PRO software, but fails when the model # doesn't match - probably for the better :)

I'd love just to have channel editing capabilities even... The CPS for the MU-5 is terrible, it forces all 100~ channels to exist at all times, and you cannot reorder the frequencies. This is a huge pain because in my use case MURS-1 is used by a local store, and I want to reprogram channel 1 to being channel 5, but the only way I can do that right now is just rename the channels, so 005 would = "Channel 1" and that's just confusing...
