Can I send a click signal from this board?

Take a look at this board (sorry/not sorry for the big pic).

Channel 1: Monitor line from the main mixer
Channel 2: Metronome

Ok, I want to run a my metronome back out to the soundboard from here. Is there a way to do this with this board WITHOUT sending my own personal monitor mix back to the main soundboard as well? On another sound board, I use an AUX send, but this one doesn't have it.

Thanks!

No. You've got 6x2 mixer with no aux sends. And what's up with those stereo/mono buttons?! Yamaha too cheap to put a pan pot on the thing?
Theoretically, I guess you could press the stereo button in and send the RIGHT output ONLY (click) to the main board. That would leave you with the monitor mix in the left side of headphone with the click in the right side of headphone. To fix that though, you could just solder together a stereo to mono headphone adapter.

This is what I though. If I go with this, I may just use a 1/4" splitter - run one to my board and then the other to the main mixer. I hate using jacks/splitters because it seems they aren't as roadworthy.

Maybe the Behringer Xenyx X1003B might work for you. It looks like it has a single FX send (aux send) with a dedicated output. Pretty inexpensive as well. Or the Xenyx1002sfx seems to have a separate aux send as well
 
Get a Behringer X Air 18, I know its around $500, but you can use it for a lot more than just in ears monitor mixes. Maybe you get lucky and find a used one for less. That will be probably the last mixer you get.
 
In use that same board to monitor my drum mics as well as a click and monitor feed. I put xlr splitters on the drum mics. One to me and the other side to the house. I suppose you could try that with a 1/4 splitter.
 
You could also look at a Mackie Mix8, cheaper and a lot more features than the MG06.
I used the Mix8 as a simple drum mixer and got the MG06 for my EAD10 rig.
I like Yamaha products but the MG06 just is expensive and limited.

The only 2 pros it has over the Mix8 is that it is smaller and can be powered with a guitar pedal board - which is why I got it for my EAD rig.
The Mix8 has a proprietary connector (& less common voltage). Unless you DIY something, you need the supplied power adapter.
 
Thanks for everyone’s suggestions. I may be being overly-cautious, but I just don’t trust behringer over the long term. In addition, Mackie just isn’t what it used to be IMO, so I may just go with the Yamaha and a splitter when the time comes. Thanks!
