No problem. All of the receiver freqs are above all of the transmitter
freqs, so each is agile only on it's own side of the fence. A simple
duplexor will do.

John Covert gave the formula for the frequencies in <6156@accuvax.nwu.edu>
(Telecom-Digest: V.10, I.239, Msg 5 of 6):

| receive_freq = (if channel<991 then 870.030 MHz else 869.04) !chan 1/991
|                 + 30kHz x (channel - 1 or 991)
| transmit_freq= (if channel<991 then 825.030 MHz else 824.04) !chan 1/991
|                 + 30kHz x (channel - 1 or 991)
