Are your interference problems "in band" or with each radio on a different band?

I do not have experience with the Icom radios you are using. Do they have 
roofing filters?

Subject: [TowerTalk] Antennas for SO2R station

I live on a small lot, 80x180, in a subdivision....I have a 50ft tower with a 
3L Steppir on it.....I had planned on putting another Steppir 2L about 7 ft 
above the tribander.....BUT......my current SO2R setup I'm using a Hytower as 
the second antenna.....the rigs are a 7610 and 7300.....I have 5B4AGN bandpass 
filters on both rigs.....I'm already having interference issues between the 
rigs now, so I think moving a second antenna to the same mast is asking for 
more trouble. Just wondering if anyone uses 2 antennas on the same mast for 
SO2R? Also, is the 7300 maybe a problem? I heard that radio generates a lot of 
phase noise on TX, not so good in SO2R applications. Anyway, planning for some 
tower maintenance this summer, and looking for suggestions on optimizing the 
station for SO2R....
