Cool!

No. Is there a separate setting for the tuning step on SSB channels in
the radio?

You probably want to declare features.has_nostep_tuning=True, which will
tell the UI not to validate frequencies against the set of supported
tuning steps.

Some comments:

> TMODES = ["", "TSQL", "DTCS", "VSC"]

"VSC" isn't a valid tone mode. You'll get an error when you try to
download a channel if you do memory.tmode = "VSC".

I think it would be best to place a RadioSetting into memory.extra for
enabling that function.

> DTCS_POLARITY = ["Normal", "Reverse"]

This should be "NN" and "RR".

> TUNING_STEPS = [0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 6.25, 8.33, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0,
>                 50.0, 100.0]

The steps below 5.0 aren't in chirp's global list, and thus you'll get a
similar error if you try to set memory.tuning_step=0.01. Is it
reasonable to ignore these in get_memory() and set_memory() or is there
a reason to add support for them in chirp's core?

>         mem.tuning_step = TUNING_STEPS[_mem.ts & 0x0F]

You probably know this, but the definition of _mem.ts should just be
narrowed to only include the low nibble if that's the intent.

However, nice job on the first pass!
