Hopefully not, but a lot will depend on the separation of the antennas
and the quality of the respective feedlines and RF decks.  A set of
cavities to filter each frequency may be required even if the TX and RX
aren't combined onto one antenna.

I used the ARA-1 Sound FOB from Techno By George:

It works very well with the "Simple USB" setup.
