You didn't look very hard. When the radio is connected to the  
computer, the radio's frequency is polled periodically and recorded  
with the QSO. Even if it isn't connected, the program stores what it  
thinks is the radio's frequency. It can be edited in the QSO dialog  
for both transmit and receive frequencies. The frequency, to the  
resolution of KHz, is exported in the Cabrillo log. I just connected  
my radio, set N1MM for that type of radio, and it did the rest. The  
SS log I submitted to ARRL contained the frequency for each QSO.

See section 19 of the N1MM Manual for info on the QSO Edit Contact  
Dialog.
