Do you mean to say that, as it is now, the sub receiver (2nd
receiver) cannot be on a different band? What is the use of
having a 2nd independent receiver if you cannot use it
totally separate from the main receiver?
1. For tuning the same band you are CQing on. During the short listen
times between your CQs, you can find unworked stations in other parts of the
same band.
2. For diversity reception, running a different antennas into the two
receivers.
3. Working split in a DX contest where you want to listen for calls on
your own transmit frequency as well as where you're listening (e.g. on
40m, where the phone bands don't overlap between countries)
4. Busting a DX pile-up where they're "listening 10-20 up", by
monitoring who they're responding to, so you can position yourself to be
next.
