Chirp doesn't sound like it would be very useful?to me.? If I understand this right you need a computer to use it.? One more thing to carry into the field.

It runs on Linux, Windows and AppleOS.

CHIRP is a software for your computer to setup memories for your radio. Can't remember the website but if you search Chirp radio programmer it will lead you to the correct place. I seem to remember it is something like but don't
quote me on that.?
When I enter CHIRP in the App Store all I get is related to birds!
Is CHIRP the full name?

Dave,
You will be much happier using CHIRP than a separate keyboard.? This free software allows you to assemble memory input like a spread sheet.? It allow for naming (limited by the FT817/818 display length) frequency, offset and subtones.? You can also move
entries around as you see fit for memory location.? I have entered all the frequencies for FT-8, VHF and UFH repeaters and my favorite bands as well as WWV and my local airport frequencies so my grandchildren can listen to traffic while we sit on the fenceline
at the airport.
