Oops,  meant to say set menu 48 to either 61 or 62.  61 will read vfo, 
62 will read s meter.   Setting menu 48 to anything from 000 to 60 will 
  cause the radio to jump to that menu when you press the f key.    This 
is probably how you got "locked" into menu 60.

I keep mine set at 62 for s meter and hit the menu key twice quickly to 
get frequency.
