<p>'Far apart' isn't always possible, but remember RF travels in
waves, and as such for every wavelength you will have nulls where
the signal is almost completely 0 as seen by another antenna with
the same orientation. By locating the antennas in each other's
nulls on 2m you can more or less completely negate the
interference. <br>

<div>So, I'm about ready to push the button on this. <br>
</div>
I'll be limited by the location spots available, but I
have one more question:<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm intending to have the FTM-350 running APRS, and the
IC-7000 running voice on 2m/440<br>
</div>
I know I should mount those antennas as far apart as
possible, but given the 50W output of each, what is the
minimum separation for the safety of the radios? <br>
<br>
</div>
It's almost certain to end up with the 7000 V/U on the front
mount point, FTM-350 on the middle, and the 7000 HF antenna on
the back. <br>
<br>
</div>
I know the APRS will still punch holes in my reception on the
7000 VHF, but I'm hoping to minimize that. My main concern is
not having the front ends damaged by the RF from the other
radio.<br>
