VHF Antenna Sepration

[stripah]

Hi,

If I wanted to put two vhfs in the boat for redundancy and planned on having two antennas is there a minimum distance that they have to be placed apart to prevent any bleeding over of the signals from one radio to the other?

I believe the answer is 3', but more important could be the wiring. I run 2, about 6' apart and each run from a different wiring run. Zero issues, but never run both on same channels anyway.

One is to 9, 16 & weather alerts (plus DSC emergencies), the other scans the 'favorite' channels area fishermen frequent.
