   I would expect two radios of the same make and model to be in phase, but   
   different radios will have different amplifier designs and speaker   
   arrangements which will likely give phase differences at different   
   frequencies.  Plus it is possible that the two loudspeakers are simply   
   connected in opposite polarity anyway.
