Anyone wanting to play with an active receiver and proximate transmitter
would be VERY well served by picking up VJN's book as the FIRST step.
Even if it's not a perfect match with this scenario, the overall lessons
on understanding and testing coupling loss is worth 10x the price of the
book. Especially when the penalty for getting it wrong is a trip to the
repair center for that shiny new now-deaf rig!

The C31XR should not be a problem
However, the ICOM 7610 may be.
I have used TenTec radios and more recently an FTDX5000MPwith closely spaced
monobanders (interleaved 10 & 15, for example)with no problems just with stubs
on low power and just Dunestar600s with high power.
BUT, this past weekend at N1UR for RDXC. Ed had monobanders withadjacent bands on
separate towers. We had Dunestar 600s band passfilters. He had no problem with his
FT1000Mk5 Field but I hadproblems with the new Icom 7610. In particular, I needed
thepreamp on 15 meters. But, that brought the overload light on.When the ICOM 7610 goes
into overload, things fall apart prettyfast. Also, you cannot use the DIGI-SEL to
add some badly neededextra front-end selectivity when you want to use the preamps.
BTW, the 7610 (and undoubtedly other radios with the samearchitecture) has a new type of
second radio problem not foundin traditional superhet radios. When listening on 3505 you
willhear the second radio on 7010. The 1/2 harmonic! Again, Dunestarsin
line. This is apparently due to the decimation process of theSDR.
Good luck.
