You said it when you said "Brand X" <G>. A lot of receivers will =
collapse
into a heap of noise with another rig nearby on the same band... Or even =
on
a different band! It all has to do with the "Brand X" receiver, the
separation between the antennas, power output used, etc.

...I'm thinking about using my K2/100 (3256) as one of the Field Day
stations. My thought were to use my K2 as a 20 meter CW station and one =
of
the Club radios on 20 meter SSB. However, I've been cautioned by some =
club
veterans that it won't work to have a 20 meter CW station working at the
same site as 20 meter SSB station--they will just interfere with each =
other.
I think I've read on this reflector about the excellence of the K2 in
working in strong signal environments so wanted a second=20
opinion. What problems will I be creating trying to run a K2/100 and a =
brand
X together on 20 mtrs one using a Yagi and one using a dipole? If there =
are
problems, what might be the solution?  Hope this isn't too dumb of =
question.
