Duenstar also has single band filters for $73.00 each.

Gary,

I also have the Dunestar filters (multiband) and run them in my SO2R setup 
and they work well.  They are pricey at $450+ for each radio.  Probably 
overkill for your application but they also make single band filters for 
about $75.

ICE makes bandpass filters for single band at $75 a piece.

A single 80M bandpass filter on your father's station would protect his rig 
when you are transmitting as long as you stay off of 80M.

You could also add 1/4 wave stubs to trap out undesired signals as well.

Just got the word from the repair facility that proximity to another
transmitter was the likely cause of my father's Icom receiving front
end damage. That would have to have been from me transmitting on
another band when he was on. My tribander is 20 feet from his 80M inv
V

I have a coax relay on his rig that disconnects the antenna when his
rig is turned off and when he is on I avoid 80M which is the only
band he uses so I never transmit on 80 when he is on. I've heard of
but never seen or used filters that are supposed to be good for
isolating one band in a multi op contesting situation. Any
suggestions of what filter I might could use on his coax to keep
other frequencies from being an issue to him on 80 again?

Thanks,

Gary
