I explained it above. Nothing about antennas it never is. Actually the LTE side of things has two antennas for multiple receive streams.

No. The issue was the GSM in this phone. The data paths are different on this phone. The EVO LTE and S3 have 1X on one path then EVDO and LTE on another path. So when talking on the phone which uses 1X your phone has the ability to use EVDO or LTE on the other path (at a reduced power). Nothing about the network, nothing about chips, nothing about antennas, as the way more to the puzzle than that.
No take the Note II, it has 1X and EVDO on one path and GSM/LTE on another path. So you can see the issue right here. No 1X and EVDO at the same time. But it does have the ability to do 1X and LTE at the same time.
It's all due to the GSM capabilities of this phone that skewed the design from the S3 for SVDO and SVLTE. I knew this going in buying the phone and didn't bother me as I rarely used it on the EVO LTE. And getting out of the piece of junk radio on the EVO LTE was a major improvement for me.1If you go to sensor test and then image test, a strange chihuahua appears.

The reason why voice/data works on the EvoLTE and the Sprint Variant of the Galaxy SIII is because they have SVDO chips which allowed that to happen.
With the Note II, it appears as Samsung wanted to have little to no hardware variation amongst the different handsets, hence the no SVDO chip.
