Jim,
Am I understanding that this can only apply in VFOs not the Working Bands?
Thanks,
Bill


Bill,

Correct. The spreadsheet memory editor is currently limited to the manufacturers specified frequency ranges for the UV-5R/UV-82 family of radios.

136.000-174.000 and 400.000-520.000 for the 2M/70CM models
136.000-174.000 and 220.000-260.000 for the 2M/1.25M models

Although the radio will accept and display virtually any frequency compatible with the STEP setting from 100 MHz to nearly 1000 MHz, nobody has shown any conclusive evidence that the radio will operate (even for receive only) outside of the manufacturers specified frequency ranges.

Sure, I've picked up some signals with the displayed frequency in the 800.000 MHz range. But I bet, with a little effort, I could find the actual over-the-air frequency is within the radio's standard frequency ranges.
