Undisclosed urban location.
What would be the LEAST amount of distance between two nmo mounted antennas.
One is a dual band vhf/uhf that will be running 20 watts, occasionally 50 watts.
The other antenna will be a 10 meter that will be running 25 watts.

Don't want to fry either radio by having the two antennas too close, but space is limited.
Thought I would ask here first before going to the QRZ forum and hear how somebody built their first radio out of cat gut and two goat turds.

I asked a very experienced radio install tech this question. He told me that to be on the safe side, there wasn't enough room on the roof of my truck for 2 vhf antennas. I have used a magmount on the cowl with the other antenna on the roof safely so far but YMMV.
