The repeater is a motorola micor station lo-band repeater retuned to the 6 meter band running 100 watts. The 1.7 mhz is the new aloted band plan split for 6 meter band in the US. The greater the split the less isolation needed. From some technical information I found in a duplexer publication I figured about 58db of isolation was needed but not sure. Right now the repeater is running on two seperate antennas seperated by 90 feet vertical running 50 watts with no problems. Rx antenna is 120' and Tx antenna is @ 30'. It can here me about 30 miles away on 5 watts but the transmit signal comming back to me is weak.
