This is actually two rigctl commands, i: get_split_freq  () and 
f: get_freq        ()  and should not be confused with the IF; command
sent to the radio.  When you enter a ? at the Rig command: prompt, you
will see a list of commands rigctl accepts.

It has been a long time since I used gMFSK that I've forgotten how it
is configured.

You did exit rigctl before starting gMFSK, right?

Perhaps you may wish to try Fldigi?  It is actively developed and seems
to be the successor to gMFSK.  See http://www.w1hkj.com
