Correct: You cannot listen on two frequencies at the same time unless  
you have the sub receiver. But you can always hold REV or tap A/B to  
listen to the station at VFO B's frequency.

Some transceivers have something called "dual watch," which splits the  
receive path at the mixer input. We didn't want to take this simpler  
approach, because it doesn't provide diversity receive. That takes two  
separate receivers with independent antennas. Hence the KRX3.
