True or False?
You cant put UHF and Phone aerials side by side on your bar as they interfere with one another?
If you see a Silver Flash on a dirt track somewhere out west, goin like a bat out of hell, my cousin has probably flogged my ute again!

I don't know definitivly, but mine are side by side and I have not noticed any difference.

(but I have not had to answer the phone while on the UHF either)

If you have 2 antenna's operating on the same frequency, the minium seperation should be at least 1 antenna whip length.
In the case of Phone 860 - 920 or 1800 - 2100Mhz and UHF 470ish Mhz, the frequnecy seperation is enough to safely mount the side by side.
