That's not using two frequencies?? A good SO2R is cqing on one freq and either
dueling CQs on a second freq or working multi. If time right transmits and

the spectrum that a SO1R is using.

Depends on the contest, where you are (USA vs. DX QTH), time-of-day,
time-of-year, sunspot number, etc.
At this point in the sunspot cycle, there are few opportunities to
productively dual CQ and interleave QSO's when operating a DX contest
from the USA side. During the time you are transmitting on an
unproductive band, you are not making your presence known on the
productive band. This leads to lower rates on the productive band, and
not making QSO's on the unproductive band.
By the way, a good SO2R not only works multipliers on the "2nd radio"
but also works non-multipliers, as long as those non-multipliers
generate QSO points.
