For Yaesu FT-60R
I have this radio, and I know more than a few of you have this radio, I am wondering if this is possible:
1) Dual Band Simultaneous Monitoring, ie. monitor 1 VHF channel and 1 UHF channel at the same time
2) VHF monitoring/RX and while UHF TX (as your press the PTT)
I mainly want this feature so that I can use the FT-60R with a crossband repeat mobile unit.
Any idea?

For BAOFENG UV-5R
I don’t have this radio yet. But this radio seems to be able to do dual band 2 channels simultaneous monitoring, right?

What I am looking for is a radio that will monitor channels A & B but will lock the transmit frequency to channel A. While one of the channel is VHF and the other is UHF.
 
There's a Yahoo group for the Baofengs that can answer your questions. You know the specs on those don't compare to a real amateur radio.
As for monitoring 2 freqs and TX on one, almost any dual band HT will do that. Heck, my antique Kenwood 78A's do cross band, and even duplex.
