Some radios have programmable frequency limits. For example, the Baofeng UV-5R lets you set the upper and lower limits of both the UHF and VHF ranges. If your radio has an upper limit on the VHF band set to 146.900, that would cause it to report those two frequencies as out of range.

When trying to either import CSV/CHIRP files or just writing the data read from the radio back to it, CHIRP tells me that my frequencies are out of range. It's a 2m radio, and it's telling me that 146.970 and 147.000 are outside of the allowed range. I tried using both the latest released version and the 20130411 nightly. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 if it matters.

Does anyone have a hint as to where to look to fix this?
