Could you build this?

No Open firmware for a handheld radio that implements P25 Phase 1 voice needs hardware reverse-engineering, DSP and vocoder (IMBE) implementation, and radio-specific debugging, all beyond vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: A real version requires dumping and disassembling the radio's firmware, understanding its proprietary DSP and radio chipset interfaces, and implementing the P25 Phase 1 codec and protocol stack. Hardware debugging tools and RF and embedded expertise are also needed.
