In settings-other settings-VHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and settings-other settings-UHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and the corresponding lower limits.. Thes e should be followed when entering frequency values in memories. So if you set VHF upper to 226, you should be able to input 224.6000 into the frequency memory entry.
Radio in question is Baofeng UV-5R
That isn't the way the driver works. The band limits only affect the frequency range that is available in the VFO. It doesn't affect the band limits that are configured for the programming memories.
The reason you can't program in 1-1/4 meter frequencies is likely due to you are choosing the wrong vendor/model for your radio's capabilities.
The rule of thumb is as follows...
2 TX power levels, 2 bands: Baofeng UV-5R 3 TX power levels, 2 bands: Baofeng BF-F8HP 2 TX power levels, 3 bands: Radioddity UV-5RX3 <- the one you should be choosing for 1-1/4 meter support
