Stan,

Can you tune the VFO on other bands?  If not, you likely have the VFO 
locked - look for the little 'padlock' icon in the upper right corner of 
the display.  Hold the LOCK button to the right of VFO A knob to toggle 
LOCK on and off.

What happens when you do a Direct Frequency Enter?  You must place a 
decimal after the MHz digits and when you have entered 28.4 tap the 
ENTER button (lower right of the number keypad).

73,
