It does dual "watch" ... periodically switches to a freq of your 
choosing to see if it is active.

There is nothing about dual receive here:

"Dual Watch enables you to check sub-band activity while receiving on 
another frequency. When a signal is detected, operation automatically 
shifts to the sub-band frequency."
