You say, "don't use both a and b to monitor 1 channel". I assume that
means that if I display the name on the top line (a) and the frequency
on the bottom line (b), I can only listen to one channel. How about
this. Lets say lines 1 and 2 on CHIRP are set to monitor repeaters x
and y in Falmouth. It is possible to program CHIRP to scan only certain
of the potential 128 channels. If I set up the CHIRP spreadsheet so
that the scan only looks at lines 1 and 2, it should simply alternate
between the two repeaters. And the two-line display would simply bounce
back and forth between repeater x and repeater y. Would that work?

Use 2 radios, or don’t use both a and b to monitor 1 channel. After a
while, you should be able to memorize which is which. On channels I
use quite frequently, I name it the frequency. On less used channels,
I name it either the call sign of the owner or the location of the
repeater. After a while, you won’t need to use both.

I've been using Baofengs for a year now. I have a UV-5RD+, a BF-F9
V2+, and a UV-XR. Since I live on an island in the Atlantic, and my
contact with North America is through two repeaters on Cape Cod, I
love the dual watch feature. If I program the radio to display the
name on the first line and the frequency on the second line, how
would I monitor two repeaters and exactly what buttons would I have
to push to make that happen? Chris Knowles
When I want names, I do go to 21, not 22. Hit menu again, that
allows for adjustment from freq, channel, name. I then select which
of the three I want, then hit menu again to confirm, done. If you’ve
installed names for all your frequencies, that process should do it
for you.
Second, I don’t know if you are aware of this tid-bit of info or not
but, if you do the process I just outlined and, you actually get
names, there’s a simple way to also provide the frequency for that
name, on the screen too.
First, make sure your up arrow is on the top row. Then, select menu
& 21 “names”. Then press menu again to confirm. Done.
Now, push your “A-B” button. Now the arrow is on the bottom row. If
you look to the right of the upper row, you’ll see what channel
number you have selected while you selected “names”.
Your arrow is presently on the bottom so, press the VFO button to
select “channel mode”. Now, using the key board, press in the three
numbers that you see to the right of the name you selected. When
that comes up, you’ll see what’s selected, either the channel or the
frequency for the numbers to match the ones above. Now you have the
name, and the frequency of one particular channel, on the screen at
the same time.

It sounds like you have done your work with CHIRP fine.
Consult your owner's manual and find the section about displaying
either 1)channel number, 2) frequency, or 3) channel name.
If you download from radio to CHIRP and see the names, they are there.
Just find the owner's manual. It will tell you,

I do. When I clone to my computer all of the names are shown.
For some reason when I import back to the radio, only the
frequency shows. No name. Not sure what step I am missing.

Do you have names entered for those channels?

How do I switch my Baofeng PC03 from frequency to name?
When I go to 21 and 22 for the name, it still only shows
frequencies.
