Yes, the firmware in the BF-997S is BFS297. This can be confirmed by Pressing the 3 KEY on the keypad while doing a PowerOn. Internally it is a UV5R. http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/images/UV5R-Family.jpg
CHIRP supports over 60 various models. Do a Download from Radio to create an initial template. Make the changes and additions, then Upload to Radio.

It probably already is. It looks like another UV-5R variant so try the UV-5R selection.
