Hi Dan, The phrases "reasonably priced" & "isolator for 6 meters" are usually mutually exclusive. A isolator tuned for the 6 meter ham band is VERY expensive. Not to rain on Gareth's parade, but a 47 MHz low-band isolator will almost never tune to the repeater portion of 6 meters, I've tried several. The problem comes from the fact that due to the frequency involved, the components of an low-band isolator in order to be packaged into something reasonable, are limited to a very small tuning range. Take that same size physical package and put the required components into it for UHF and it will tune from 440 to 470 MHZ with no problem.

I see lots of items for 2 meters, 1.25 meters, and 70 centimeters, but nothing for low band applications. Regards, Dan at K7MM, VU3MMW
