What does not work is entering frequencies from the FM radio band (65-108 MHz). This results in an "Invalid Entry" error message. I have attached a debug report.

You should provide feedback and reports on the ticket. What you
describe is not a bug. You cannot enter broadcast FM frequencies
(65-108 MHz) into the spreadsheet editor. The broadcast FM feature is
on a separate chip. It only stores 1 frequency. On many new radios,
including this one, the selected frequency is not exposed to CHIRP.
This means CHIRP can't read the frequency that the radio has selected
and CHIRP cannot set the frequency in the radio.
