Hi Lt.Peter,
1) First of all, you must check out if your available VOR frequencies source is the same from that used by CS777. T7 version 1.1 uses AIRAC cycle 1202 Rev 1, valid (from/to): 09/FEB/2012 - 07/MAR/2012 (this information is available at [My computer > Local disk (C) > Program files (x86) > Microsoft Games > Microsft Flight Simulator X > Captain Sim > navigation > cycle_info.txt and Navaids.db]).
VOR frequencies showed at original FS GPS are from an older AIRAC cycle, and not all, but some VOR and ILS frequencies were changed or simply closed and new ones appear along the time. This can cause a "Invalid Entry" msg.
2) How I usually do it, not only in 777, but in 767 and 757 too:
I don't use the VOR frequencies selector knobs at radio stack.
Open 2D [CDU] panel and go to [NAV RAD] page. Enter your new desired VOR frequency on scratchpad, using CDU keys and then click on [L1] or [R1] keys. If you are within station range, the VOR station identifier, generally a 3 letters code, must appear on CDU.
Hope this helps.
