Dual sets were used for maintaining a net on two frequencies. The other role of using dual RT-524 was to use the second RT-524 set to receive on one frequency and then re-transmit the signal on a second frequency. The principle is the same as a commercial or amateur radio repeater. That way, two stations who can not recieve and transmit to each other directly, can work each other through the dual station.
Yes, but in order to do that you must have a C2299 Control Box fitted, with the appropriate cabling. My M38A1CDN3's whole history was with 1RCR, so I mounted dual radios as C/S 91 (Sig O attach/posted to 1RCR).So, I'm surmising that the Sig O, being part of the CO's Rover group, could position himself wherever he saw fit in order to facilitate any retransmission requirement. I installed an RT-524A and an AN/VRC-125 in an AN/VRC-49 configuration...the 125 working down to the coys, the 524 working up to Bde.

So, were R-442s used by our units? As I understand it, the 442 could monitor coy, platoon or section level radio transmissions and then pass it along to higher levels (Bde) etc by utilizing the RT524 set?
Was it common then to use different frquencies in order to keep Bde level comms open rather than be cluttered up with excess transmission or was it a case of transmission distance which relegated the use of R442 sets as monitoring units within coys? Sorry for my ignorance as I'm no radio techie.

How about when they had a rt-524 mounted beside a prc-77 in a apc or iltis what would that be called?

That would just be a vehicular mounted RT524 in an AN/VRC-46 configuration.The AN/PRC-77 beside it is just that...a manpack.
However, if you have the RT 524 mounted as above and an RT-841 mounted on the AM 2060 Power Tray Assembly, it would then be an AN/GRC-160. The accessory pack would be issued for the "77" so that it could be used as a vehicular radio, or for use as a manpack. Taking the above paragraph further, If the RT-841 was mounted "permanently", i.e. no accessory pack provided, it would then be an AN/VRC-64. Clear as mud, but it covers the ground.
