Settings | Radio Menu Settings | Common 1 tab | Display Mode - This option set to Channel puts the radio into a mode that makes the radio more like a commercial radio with changed capabilities (i.e., the radio won't go into VFO mode and others). For most applications, this options should be set to Frequency.

4. Be sure you have a button set to Band Change (Settings | Radio Menu Settings | Common 2 tab | Key Assignments) so you can switch between VFO bands.
