I think you'd have a lot of trouble trying to co-locate those. We were able to get something working several years ago using XR9's (total of three radios) but we had to separate them horizontally by 40 feet and use a dish on one of the radios to get anything that worked. One of the three was in PTP rather than PTMP and we had to put that one in managed mode. And recently a third-party showed up in the area with some sort of remote well-head monitoring gizmo and messed everything up again. Overall a very touchy and annoying installation process.
