Thanks for the input. It is 150MHz and we would have a 5Mhz split. What is the best process for shielding the two radios? Are there cases out there or some foil type products? What would happen if we just connected to the two radios together and separated the antennas? I looked at the R1225 and it is a little big but may work if need be. Would a Motorola PAC RT work?
