You can parallel two Motorola MaxTrac radios, so I'd think you can also do it with two other same-model radios as well. You might not have enough mike level for each radio, but that could be overcome by close-talking the mike.
Of course you will need two antennas, or some kind of tuned diplexer unit if you have to feed two radios into one antenna. Also make sure your power supply can handle the load of two radios and then some.
