Mike, Assuming 5 watts of TX power and an RX sensitivity of 0.3 uV, at your specified frequencies,a horizontal separation of 100 feet provides about 1.2 dB of isolation. Even at the low power of 5 watts, you need about 79 dB of isolation, according to my CommShop program's calculation.

It takes a lot of horizontal separation to achieve the 90 or so dB of isolation you need for a repeater. Hundreds of feet. Vertical separation gives you a lot more isolation for a lot less distance; 50 feet might be plenty. But with only one antenna, you'll need a good 4 or 6 section duplexer.

When bringing commercial duplexers down try a trick that I use. Temporarily lengthen the cables by inserting 'right angle' adapters in each line. Not exact but does lengthen each cable by a half inch or so. Good test to see if longer cables are going to help. W8AK
