Dual Watch
In certain situations, the ability to monitor two channels at once can be a valuable asset. This can be achieved in one of two
ways. You can either have one receiver in your radio and flip-flop between two frequencies at a fixed interval (known as
Dual Watch), or you can equip a radio with two receivers (known as Dual Receive or Dual VFO). The former method is
cheaper to implement and far more common than the latter.
The Radios feature Dual Watch functionality (single receiver) with the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the
two channels it monitors.
