  Chip,

First, calibrate the BFO by listening to an AM station.  If you have the 
KXB3080 installed, use 10 MHz WWV (but any AM station will do - make LSB 
and USB sound the same - the instructions are in the manual.

After that, use the DDS menu (again as instructed in the manual), adjust 
the menu so the station is received at the proper frequency on the dial.

You must do both the BFO and the DDS calibration to make the frequency 
display correct.
