#1) Buy Scott a better radio. Yaesu radios are notorious for being a 
very bad neighbor. They're dirty, there's nothing another radio can do 
when the other radio is spewing trash on your frequency.

#2) Study my talk on multi-station interference for many things you can 
do with station building, antenna choice, feedline choice, antenna 
layout,and the use of serious ferrite chokes at every antenna feedpoint.

Also see my detailed analysis of ARRL Lab tests of a selected number of 
rigs. The raw data for my report came straight from ARRL Labs in 
electronic form. Also see ARRL Lab plots of keying bandwidth and phase 
noise for Scott's radio.
