Does anyine have any experience running the Garmin 396/496 XM antenna next to the external GPS antenna. I'm planning on mounting them just underneth my glare shield (glare shield is fiber glass). Rockets have pretty small glare shields so this would put the antennas pretty close to each other. A second antenna from a Garmin 250 would be very close as well.

Minimum separation between antennas should be one quarter of the longest
wavelength. For 2.5Ghz this is approx 31.5mm or 1-1/4 inches.
