"dual watch" while better than one receiver is never to be confused 
with two receivers.  You cannot split the audio outputs of the "dual 
watch" since there ARE NOT two FULL receivers. So if you want to 
split the audio , as in DX in one ear , the Dx's listening frequency 
in the other ear you will need two receivers...
in ICOM that is the ICOM 7800.

And I understand that the 7800 is not as good for diversity 
reception... as the K3.
