See the K3 FAQ on the Elecraft web site.

No.  This is duplex operation, not dual receive.  The K3 is not designed for
duplex, which would require incredible RX shielding.

Yes.

Yes, and also with two antennas, one for each receiver, your choice.

Receive on two different frequencies at once, with one in each ear of the
headphones, or mixed.  The two frequencies can be on different bands and
different modes.
