Check that LO LOCK in the MAIN window is disabled (not highlighted). If LO LOCK is enabled, that will restrict VFO tuning to within the IF BW and centred on the LO frequency. With LO LOCK disabled, you should be able to enter desired frequency per the instructions in the user manual. There's nothing special about entering frequencies for the amateur 2m and 70cm bands vs. any other frequency supported by the RSP.

Make sure to enable the LNA (left button in the MAIN window).
