Transmitting while listening in diversity mode

Nobody commented on my question last night, but I'd still like to hear from
your collective wisdom, so here's a repeat: I set up my sub-rx to listen on
transmit antenna B while the main is listening and transmitting on A, and to
listen on A while main is listening and transmitting on B. This allows for
diversity reception.

"...here's my question: My two antennas are located so each is in the
other's null, but they are not far apart, maybe 50 feet at most. When I
transmit, I don't hear any carrier-operated relays or see any adverse
reactions, but I'm still not sure that it's okay. The manual sez "well
isolated," but what I'm looking for is some objective way to test or
measure. Can anyone tell me how I can establish for sure that I can, or
cannot, transmit on A when the sub is connected to B, and vice versa? "

Any info (especially first-hand knowledge) would be much appreciated.
