Is the UV5R even useful that high? IIRC, we chose the limit upper boundary to be the highest useful frequency it can be used for. If it is really capable of locking that high on receive, then we should probably make it honor the limits set by the user instead of the arbitrary ones we chose.

Jim, do you have any input or an opinion here?
