The antenna is indeed the Diamond X500, and at this point I have not had any
noice that I have detected thus far. Just need to make this setup work

Products antenna's are in place and the beams for the remote receiver sites.
I was just not sure if the antenna can handle the transmit of both signals
at the same time.
