I'm not sure what "requests forum list" you're talking about, but yes, this is the way you request a new model. Just FYI, nothing will happen here until a developer with sufficient interest and access to a radio takes this on.

ATTN DAN SMITH: I have a radio I am willing to donate to the cause, how do I update someone elses original request to indicate YES that a radio loan has been offered? Also how can the original request be editied so that the radio name is spelled correctly. If the name was spelled correctly people might take more interest.

I've got a Retevis RA86 in my stack of radios to look at. I've not gotten to it yet. I am currently in the process of developing support for the RA87.

Thanks Jim Unroe, I am told the radio is based on a RDA1846S walkie-talkie on a chip and Me32F031C8t6 32 bit microcontroller with embedded ARM Cortex M0 core. Its a really awesome radio and would love to do away with some of the limitations from the factory software. If you need any incentive to move the RA86 to the top of your pile, let me know ;-)

OMG the factory software is sooo painful. There should be a way to vote with your wallet to increase priority of a certain project. I HATE not being able to label my RA86 channels. Anyway, keep up the good work. I'll look around for a way to donate to the cause.
