The military has developed a system whereby this is possible. It is complex,
heavy, expensive, and doesn't work all that well.

It is possible to mickey one up using relays and diode RF detectors, but it is
unreliable and at some time the failure mode will fire one transmitter directly
into the other receiver. It is a race to see which one burns out first.
