 Possible, yes.
 Probable ......... ??

 Yes, primarily keeping the full power out of the translator.
 EMR makes filters for this.

 You *may* get into a problem with the translator getting into
 the full power final and creating spurs. Then again, they may
 be low enough to make proof anyway.
 If not, that'll be the REAL expensive part.

 Since part of the channel of both stations overlap, you will want to
 look at the total occupied bandwidth VERY carefully.
