I have the opposite problem. When I TX on 2, it overloads and quiets the
6M radio. I have a 2M stub filter on the 6M receive line for other
purposes, which probably gives me 10-15 dB of extra rejection, but I still
can't hear anything on 6 when 2 is in TX. Seeing the two antenna are on
the same mast, separated by 6' and I run high power on both bands, I really
can't complain. Probably a miracle I haven't smoked something important
before now.
