[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-18H
Can I use one of the other Baofeng radio settings in Chirp? Alternatively, will this model be added to Chirp in the future. Thanks
You will see information about Chirp Next here including info on almost working with Chirp Next radios and brand new untested radios.
Many times (always) a loaner radio has to be offered for development of a module to have Chirp Next work with it.
Please consider loaning your radio to a developer so it can be made to work with Chirp. The details are here :

How Can You Help: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpNextBuild#How-you-can-h...
1. Test obscure radio models
If you have one of the radios on the list of un-tested models, please consider giving it a try and filing a bug. Even if it works fine, please let us know so we can mark it down. If it doesn't, it would be great if you would be willing to test some changes to help us get it fixed. If it's an older radio, consider donating it to a developer (this is the most helpful thing you can do).
If you find that a radio works
If you find that a radio works but is not marked on the test matrix as tested by an actual person, please submit a CHIRP-next report issue and tell us about it. If the radio does not work (or almost works) please submit a bug per below.
If you find that a radio has problems
When filing a bug, please consider:
Please search or consult the list of bugs to see if your issue is already reported Be sure to choose "next" in the Chirp Version field so we know this is related to the new build
Make sure to tell us which radio you're reporting. Both in the subject of the bug, but also in the "Model Affected" box
Make sure to update the "Platform" field so we know which system you are using
If you are able to download and save an image of the radio, please attach it
If the problem occurs while changing memories or settings, please include detailed steps to reproduce it.
Perhaps the most important thing is to include your debug.log. Use Help > Show debug log location

Short and sweet answers - (1) No, (2) Hopefully, but no guarantee.

John Wuest,
You don't know that one of the currently supported models will not work for him.
Many times a brand new model has been found to work with another model's CHIRP software, the link I gave tells what to do if it works or partially works.
You've told him "No" when that model's not even been tried.

It's no.

I *DO KNOW* that none of the existing profiles in CHIRP will work with the BF-18H, or with any of the newer models such as the 17, 20, 21, etc. They have a totally different memory structure from previous models. Just because *YOU are ignorant* of the facts does not mean that others are unknowledgeable. You can take your dumbass fool's comment and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
