Isolators work with transmitters only. That would do nothing for
getting signal from the antenna into the repeaters.

What you need is a diplexer. That is a low pass / high pass filter
network. These can be constructed with L/C high pass and low pass
filters, but that usually only has enough Q to work with a super wide
split, like VHF low pass and UHF high pass.

It looks more like you need a pair of interdigital band pass filters.

These can be tuned 5 MHz wide so the filter passes both TX and RX and
depending on the number of poles will be the isolation, I'd say 5
poles should be around -60dB,  20 MHz out.

They are kind of a pain to build as copper is expensive and aluminum
is really hard to weld, that aluminum solder crap never worked for me.

And then they are a real nutbuster to tune, don't even try it without
a spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator.

But before you spend any money, I would do a VSWR test with watt meter
and a hand held to see if the antenna is broad band enough to support
the 2 machines.
