No, it does not display the frequency. It only displays the category the received signal is under.( Police, Ambulance, Fire, DOT, and a fifth, non-selectable, category, Misc.)
It is a basic scanner. It cannot handle simulcast systems either.

It uses only 4 service types: Law Dispatch (Police), Fire Dispatch (Fire), EMS Dispatch (Ambulance), and Public Works (DOT). You will NOT receive any Police, Fire, or EMS Tac frequencies or talkgroups. DISPATCH ONLY!

If you are missing channels, that sounds like a firmware problem. The only downloads I see from Uniden are the owner's manuals and Update Manager. I don't know if the Update Manager does firmware as well as the database, but it's worth giving it a try.
