Last FD we ran 4 FTDX10s. No interstation interference with them being 8 feet from each other in a straight line. All antennas were within 100 feet of each other. 2 cw stations and 2 phone stations had no problems. We did not run CW and Phone on the same band at the same time, but had no problems with phase noise hash. I ran 30 wpm CW and so did my son. We had no problems. As for a great RX, there is nothing better out there in the price range. Relays, yes. I do not care for QSK because I do not like to listen to the noise all the time. Each of us used headphones for copy or boom mic headsets. If you want something smaller and more compact, you might try the FT710. It has almost the same RX as does the FTDX10 but in a smaller package. I have not tried it. My SO2R/multi2 set up is with 2 FTDX101 radios. Again we have no problems. Because I find QSK worthless, relays do not bother me being SO2R. Wearing a set of cans, What relays?
