I need to start planning radios for my new TrailBlazer.  The 2M Icom
sitting on the passenger seat is temporary.

I thinking of maybe 3-4 radios for ham band.  This might include
two on the same band, e.g., a 2M mobile, maybe a Mitrek, dedicated
to .52 along with a synthesized rig.

Did those of you with multiple rigs have any problems with interactions?
I expect transmitting will desense all other radios in the same band, but
is there any possibility of front end damage?  

Any helpful hints about possible pitfalls welcomed.

Thanks.

PS: Having two radios going in our rescue squad ambulances can
be a bit confusing.  When we turn on the mutual aid radio and
have 3 radios going it gets even more interesting keeping track
of who is talking to us.  I keep wondering how anyone would actually
make use of 15 or even 9 radios.
