GMRS and 800mhz scanner antenna

[WSCU736]

I am very new to GMRS. Like a couple weeks new. My question is can you mount a 800mz scanner antenna on the same pole as a GMRS antenna? Like below or above the GMRS antenna.

If this 800MHz antenna is connected to a scanner, you should make sure you have plenty of separation and/or insert an RF limiter between the antenna and scanner to make sure you don't fry the scanner front end.

I was going to mention the same thing.  Not sure about older type scanners, but if it is a newer, SDR-type scanner like my SDS200, they are VERY sensitive and too much power, too close to the antenna can bork it.

Well thank you. I was thinking it may do that. But I wanted to make sure.
