That's correct they're switching back and forth quickly enough
that there is no "down time" on either frequency. A LEGAL SO2R
operator will still not transmit on both frequencies at the same
time but that doesn't mean he can't transmit on one and be
copying a station on the other.
Still, it's nothing more than rapid band switching as long as
one has the skill and hardware to make it work.
