I am sitting in front of a MKV and it does not have true dual receive. It has 
in-band dual receive, i.e. if I'm on 40m I can tune around 40m with the sub 
receiver but no other band. Also the sub receiver signal strength is down 
approx 10db. The only thing I've regularly used the sub receiver for is 
tracking a DX Split pile-up. You can easily jump on the freq of the last guy 
who called because the sub receive can be used as a transmit VFO.
Hope this info helps......73

  Is the FT-1000D the only rig that has true dual receive or does the FT-1000MP 
and FT-1000MPMKV also have this?

  Or does any other make and model have it now also. I have tried to search for 
"dual receive" but am not getting clear information on
  this.

  Too many advertise they have it, which I know already that don't from other 
things you guys have said before.

  I am considering a rig for contesting but want one this time around that has 
the true dual receive.

  Code may be taking a back seat for now,
  but the pioneering spirit that put the code
  there in the first place is out front of it all.
