ADS-B antenna close to Mil-Air voice antenna

I currently have my ADS-B antenna in a location where it is working really well and I am now looking to install the antenna I purchased which is tuned to receive Military-Air voice. If I install it close to the ADS-B antenna will it cause me any issues or should I look for an alternate location for it ?

Thanks in advance

You can mount them in the same location, but you don’t want them right next to each other. If possible set them at different heights, but if not then try and keep them a few wavelengths apart. The top end of UHF airband is 75-80cm, so if you can keep them 1-2 metres apart that should work ok.

Excellent answer.
Many people don’t know this and make terrible mistakes when configuring antennas.

In my opinion, I would consider horizontal separation as the first option and I think 1 meter would be sufficient.
