Here is an example header from a uvfits that works. This particular uvfits is centered at 150.115MHz with 80kHz channel width. I have to subtract 80kHz to the frequency information in the header to make FHD read the right frequency center. My uvfits only has 1 frequency channel, so the issue might only be on this case.
