The F8HP has one built-in receiver but can watch two channels, in semi-duplex mode, for monitor two different frequencies even on different bands. Also while still monitoring your V/UHF radio frequencies in the background the user can listen to the FM broadcast band - of course any incoming call on V/UHF tuned frequencies will be given priority insuring never miss an call while listening FM stations.
