It doesn't matter what you set the frequency limits to -- 127.8 MHz is an aircraft AM frequency, the radio cannot do AM.

I have a 127.8 Frequency I would like to attempt to program into my Baofeng UV-5R. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it not just a bit illegal to operate in the air band from 108 - 136 unless you have completed FCC communications course? Below 136 mhz are 200 channels of navigation for VOR, radial intercept, ILS beacons etc. Those are actually between 108 and 117 mhz but if you interferer with the ILS stuff you face some butt kicking penalties from Club Fed.

Hmmm... I use the comm radios in the airplane all the time, and I never covered any FCC courses. Initially it was under supervision and training of my instructor, and within the confines of the airplane's 'radio station license.' But planes don't even have station licenses anymore, I don't believe. ARROW became AROW several years ago.
But yeah, interfering with a nav-aid wouldn't earn you any friends.
