I have considered that to install a notch in the link which is usually a 3 watt transmitter and I have felt this would be better than notching the 479 350 which is the input to the repeater which seems to be reducing its sensitivity .I am currently using a 6inch cavity filter and a extra 6mc450s diplexer to notch the signal out and tuned up on a service monitor. The Repeater uses a 6db on a 9meter mast and the link is connected to a beam at the bottom of the mast .If the site was in a better location than I could reduce the link below 1 watt and it shouldn't affect the 479.350 input but that's hard to do .I also found some information about using isolators on the transmitters and on the receiver to filter the signal that is to be removed.I wonder if that would work better.

What you would like to do is not difficult just may be expensive if you do not have the filters you would need. You described your situation as you want to receive on 479.350 and you have a link transmitter on 481.825 on the same or nearby antenna. As the 481.825 is a link transmitter you may have better luck putting a Notch filter on the output of the 481.825 that would notch the 479.350 signal away from 481.825. You could stand to loose a few DB on the transmit unless you have a broad notch filter which would mean you may need more than one to tighten your notch in favor of 479.350 and allow more pass of the 481.825. This may mean more insertion loss for the 481 transmit so as long as you can stand to loose the signal then that should adjust the interfering frequency better. As a note you can use Pass as long as there is enough of it and these get expensive.
