Just to clarify, I am asking about using one VFO on one band and the
other VFO on another band. Same antenna. No need for a second RX.
Historically this has been a basic capability of transceivers like the
IC-706MKIIG.
I do not expect to hear from both VFO's at the same time. Its an
either or thing. VFO A on 20m, VFO B on 40m, hit the A/B switch to
toggle between the two. Check and see what is going on, on 40m.
The choices that I see are;
This is on the list. If so, no problem, I can wait.
This is not, and will not be a capability of this radio.
I have missed a menu setting that will let me do this.
None of the above.

Based on this, I thought it might be on the Tudo list. But then I
recall a firmware fix that addressed a cross-band problem. So I'm not
sure if they are addressing that issue, or the using A/B between bands
issue.

As you say, "it is supported with the sub-receiver".
You answered your own question.
The next question is: "Is it worth $500 for this feature?".
So far, I've decided against...but then again, I have two K3's, and
have them set up so that the 2nd K3 can on any band the 1st K3 is not
on.

Amazing what you remember right after hitting the send button. Like
putting
K3 in the subject.

Is it possible to set VFO A to one band, and VFO B to a second band? I
recall some discussion about this in the past, but do not remember if
it was
on a tudo list, or if it will be a limitation.
As an example, place VFO A on the 20m band CW mode, and VFO B at a
location on the 40m band CW mode. I have done this with other rigs, is
there a menu setting I am missing, or a limitation of the rig? I
just did a
couple of quick searches through the documentation, but I did not see a
reference to it.
I am using the 2.20 firmware. I see that it is supported with the
sub-receiver.
It is handy during a contest to set VFO B to another band, and bounce
there periodically to check activity / propagation, while CQ'ing.
