CHIRP

When navigating to the settings tab in a VX-6 image, CHIRP pops up a dialog saying, "'NoneType' object is not iterable" and leaves the tab empty. Here are the exceptions displayed in the terminal:

This is on the py3 branch, but a similar exception happens on the py2 build:

    raise Exception("Invalid Radio Settings")
Exception: Invalid Radio Settings

The image causing this issue is attached. This may in fact be my own fault. I used this radio to reverse engineer some of the settings that were missing from CHIRP, and I may have accidentally introduced a bit of corruption in the process. (I also bring it up because you may find some weird things that a user wouldn't normally do with their radio in that image.)

I did try opening an older image and the settings page seemed to work fine.

This was on Ubuntu 20.04 with the py3 branch at commit d1a22929 and the daily-20221207 py2 build.
