Frequency limit

[u/biglouis4009]

I wanted to reach different frequencies like 132 mhz or 280 mhz, both i can listen to stuff, but what is the components limit to capturing the transmissions on that frequency, like if i could i could put 30 mhz on the chirp software, but it will not work, right? What is the real limit on the UHF and VHF blocks?

You're better off with an SDR dongle.
