The problem is that the VHF band limit is set to 130. It must be in the range of 136-174.

@ Jim Unroe it config from device bought from JD. I don't edit any settings.
Test reset configuration to factory. It still 130. How I can see at https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/Model_Support.html device support 130-174.
I thing validation range for limit in driver incorrect.

So I create patch and sent it

I do understand this patch, but wonder if we should not add a warning to novice users.
The BF-T1 is limited to 400-470 in real live. Outside this limits it kind'a works since the
basic rx/tx unit is a generic one. VHF tx is very limited in range because the end-stage is not designed
for it and prolonged tx on these frequencys may even damage the end-stage.
The original chip supports 136-174 and 400-470 ( and possibly even the 220 range ). However it can be stretched to 130-174 and 400-520,
like most Baofeng units. But advertising these limits as usable limits without a warning seems not very wise.
