[VHFcontesting] keying amps

Far from being an expert, I have a similar problem when I transmit on 6m 
(FT736R+160W amp) in my rover vehicle, it keys up the 222 amp (although no 
output, as there is no input signal on 222). I am sure this occurs because 
there is enough RF out on 6m that some of it gets into the amp relay (or at 
least the RF sensed section that can key the relay on 222 amp). Might some 
of the problem be that high output from one amp is triggering the relay 
circuitry on the other? This is the only amp and band combo that I have this 
problem. Both amps are hooked to the Yaesu FT736R. Of course the antennas 
are in close proximity in the rover, although most VHF/UHF stations have 
similar antenna proximities. Rick, K1DS
