I'm planning a new antenna system and mast for my repeater. Got it in my head, that I want to try separate tx / rx antennas. Vertically So, I've looked up the charts and used the CommScope antenna separation calculator. Vertical separation would be 20' - (70db). Which is ok... My rx antenna would be 45' and my tx antenna would be 25'. But does that take into account the isolation I have at the transmitter? I have 3 1db wacom cans on the rx side 2 wacom 1db cans on the tx side, plus a circulator. I will lose 80db without my duplexer. But I can make that up with some more band pass / band reject cavities. So, can I move the tx antenna a little higher up on the mast and make up iso db's at the transmitter, Also my tx antenna will be 6dbd and my rx antenna will be 1/2 wave stacked completely vertical. Please and thank you for any help

I’m installing two antennas on top of my RV. One will be dedicated to GMRS mobile radio and the other to a Uniden BCT15X scanner. I have a 15 inch ferrous metal sheet ground plane installed on top. I’d like to use a mag mount for both antennas and put both on the ground plane on opposite sides. Additionally, both antennas are unity antennas. I’m trying to minimize putting any more holes in the roof ... I have an a three cable coax entry which will accommodate coax for my satellite antenna and two radio coax. I’ve distanced the satellite antenna to allow for an unobstructed view. I welcome any comments, observations, and advice!
