There are many developers who have contributed code to Chirp, and<br>
we're still welcoming more. The response you're referring to was from<br>
Jim personally. Jim is one of Chirp's most active developers.<br>
<br>
There is a FAQ entry about this:<br>
<a href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/FAQ#How-can-I-get-my-radio-supported-by-CHIRP" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/FAQ#How-can-I-get-my-radio-supported-by-CHIRP</a><br>
<br>
And a relevant search query in the issue tracker (since you didn't<br>
specify a model, neither does this search):<br>
<a href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/search/index/chirp?issues=1&q=Luiton" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://chirp.danplanet.com/search/index/chirp?issues=1&q=Luiton</a><br>
<br>
If you don't see anything about support for your radio, it probably<br>
means no one has tried to develop support for it yet. Generally,<br>
support for a radio doesn't come until a ham who owns that radio<br>
decides to add support themselves. From my code submission history,<br>
you can infer that my shack has a few Yaesu and Kenwood radios :-).<br>
This means your odds for support are best if you pick a popular<br>
radio--there's a larger chance someone else will want to add it to<br>
Chirp. I've never even heard of Luiton, so you can bet I won't be<br>
adding that one myself!<br>
<br>
If Chirp support is important to you, I recommend limiting your radio<br>
purchases to those already on the supported list:<br>
<a href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Supported_Radios" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Supported_Radios</a><br>
<br>
Or if you're anything like me, the first thing you do after pulling a<br>
new radio out of the box if to start sniffing its protocol to add<br>
support for it to Chirp!<br>
