  Tony,

The SubRX is protected by a COR in all cases, so if you do not hear the
COR relay kick in, you are probably OK.

If the two antennas are located in each other's null, then you may have
the "best of all worlds" situation regardless of the physical
separation.  There is more to "isolation" than physical separation.
