If you are serious about keeping it at 600KHz separation ten you will need to have real duplexors. You can get them in an enclosure with the three required connectors. The biggest issue other than their size will be possible de tuning when transporting. 440 is a better choice. Another option is

When you have this repeater active what is it's duty cycle going to be? Also are you just going to use the truck to get it to the top of the hill and then drop off the package and retrieve it later? If this is the case have you thought about putting all of this on a trailer with a small crankup
