If you are really worried about it, Wayne came up with a modification
to improve the K2's strong-signal handling characteristics. This was
created specifically to protect the receiver in the presence of
strong near-by signals. Usually these are only a problem when the
transmitter and receiver are on the same band, or even on the same
frequency. If you keep the radios on different bands, I doubt you
will see much problem.
I hope this helps, et bon chance!

Ok for the mic. My main concern is for the K2 that will be
receiving when the other transmit and vice-versa....

This is very close to contesting's SO2R (Single Op, two radios).
The difference is that in SO2R both radios are always active. When
one transmits, the other continues to receive. Bandpass filters
are used to keep the transmit RF from adversely affecting the 2nd
radio's receiver. If it did hurt it, then that radio would be
rather useless when the first is transmitting, right?
Switching the microphone between the two radios shouldn't be too
difficult with a simple switch, and if you really want to get
fancy, you too could become addicted to creating the ultimate SO2R
box... ;-)
A web lookup on SO2R should be quite revealing. After reading the
articles, you might realize that it is not that difficult to use
TWO K2s at the same time!

Hi to all,
I would like to build another K2 this automn, I can't stand in my
shack without no kit to build. ;-)
But I would like to know if it is possible (I think to an easely
yes) to operate two K2, one at a time of course, but using the
same microphone with an a/b switch like. And when one K2 is in TX
the other is stop listenning, to prevent or to protect it, from
busting his fontend.
If someone already did this setup, it would be really appreciated
to share this project with us. Or at least somebody have a good
start for this ???
