I don't know. My guess is that the firmware is specifically set to reject memory channels in the broadcast FM frequency range.
I have the UV-5RM and the FM radio function remembers the last frequency I listened to, but I can not save or name any FM broadcast band frequencies. In other words, it's likely a design limitation of the radio.
