Not knowing what a STATIOIN is, I can't argue with the above. But I
can say that more listening time will allow you to work more stations
because you have more time to find more station, and more bands to
search as well. This is such a simple concept I can not imagine why
you can not grasp it.

Yes it does matter, Joe.

Really? Ever hear of Single Op assisted? That category was added when
needed and the one/two radio class will be too.

Exactly, just what is needed to solve the problem

More nonsense. A one radio operation is defined simply: One RX and one
TX. When the RX is on, the TX must be off and vice versa. Once again,
you are confusing the number of cabinets with the number of radios.

Not for long.
