Many of us use the same gray transmitters with no problems. One thing that helps is not to pressurize both cylinders at the same time. But this is irrelevant; the OP wants to use two receivers with one transmitter, not two transmitters with one receiver.N.B. The transmitters should be a different colour or the new Shearwater transmitters that back off Ethernet style.

Yes, the two colors -- which are no longer available -- mitigates the problem. My experience, and that of others, is that turning on the two tanks at different times also mitigates the problem.Hence the N.B.
I disagree regarding two same-colour transmitters; they, by design, will cancel each other out at some point. Use of different colours mitigates this feature.
It doesn’t mitigate the problem. It is a hack that may work sometimes but the problem is always there. Should you jump in and the transmitters are "in sync", you’ve lost pressure info and will need to "reset" one underwater.Yes, the two colors -- which are no longer available -- mitigates the problem.
