I have a IC-7000 100watt HF, 50wattVHF. A IC-2720. A Kenwood D710 in a Honda Odyssey Minivan. I have the HAM VHF/UHF antennas on 3 "corners" of the van for over 4-5 years and have not "blown out" a front end yet. When I run HF, I have a Tarheel Jr on a mag mount in the center of the roof.
Of course, sometimes when one VHF/UHF xmitts, it might desense another. Like when the D710 squits APRS packets or the 2720 squits its DAPRS location. If you keep the antennas reasonably apart, you should not have big problems.

My concern is having 2 radios on the same band blasting 50 watts into the other receiver. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill or is having 2 radios on the same band running that much power a bad idea?
