[Elecraft] How much rejection should I expect?

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

Your situation is essentially two stations in the same location. It's like
a multi-transmitter contest station. A set of bandpass filters should let
you operate on a different band than your neighbor, needing only to avoid
the immediate vicinity of his harmonics. But operating on the same band
would require very sophisticated filtering and probably staying on opposite
ends of the band and therefore on different modes. I don't recommend it.
