That is about the extent of the "separation". It's not a real
problem for most small aircraft where the aircraft (VHF) radio is AM
and the 2 meter rig is FM. Where it becomes a problem is when the
a/c is equipped with a HF rig and it gets tuned to the ham bands.
More than one ham-licensed air transport pilot has done that and
openly bragged that that's what is necessary to relieve the boredom
of flying a large plane over the ocean.

Jim, when you fly with a 2m hand held, what kind of range do you get
and is it incorporated into you audio panel?
