Take a look at the gmrs_uv1.py driver. With this driver there are some
channels that must be NFM while other can be NFM or FM. If the user
tries to change the setting to FM on one that is not permitted, there
is a popup warning saying "Error setting memory: Memory location only
supports NFM". Also on this driver the RX/TX frequencies of channels
1-22 (model supporting the new rules) are fixed. If the user tries to
change the Frequency field for one of these channels, there is a popup
warning saying "Error setting memory: Memory location cannot change
frequency".

The remaining memories are RX only. All the user can do is change the
Duplex setting but as soon as CHIRP is refreshed, the Duplex setting
reverts to (None). It would be nice to have a better solution here.
