Dual band receive works just fine (each VFO on a different band 
and "sub" on) as long as you are connecting a receive antenna 
to the AUX antenna jack or the sub receiver is on a lower band 
than the main receiver.  You can change VFO B to a different 
band if you are in dual rx.  What you can't do is split with 
VFO A and VFO B on different bands.  The K3/KRC3 has always 
worked this way.  

The primary function of the N1MM Logger "SO2V" mode has always 
been to support "in band" SO2R operation.  To my knowledge, there 
has not been any transceiver (with perhaps the exception of the 
FTdx9000) that provides full specification operation on two bands 
at the same time.  The Orion/Orion II subreceiver is grossly 
inferior to the main receiver and the FT-1000MP could not listen 
on a separate band because it lacked independent bandpass filters 
for the subreceiver.
