Source for outdoor coupler/splitter - 300 ohm flat TV antenna wire ?
Hi,
There are no coax inputs or cables involved with 2 older TVs and 1 VHF/UHF roof TV antenna - so I tried looking for something to split the antenna's 300 ohm flat wire to two TV sets, each near a different window. I couldn't find an online source, and younger local RadioShack and "TV" store people are unfamiliar with them, and the older ones laugh at a request for such ancient technology. I can't even find a back of the TV splitter with 300 ohm combined input to 1 300 ohm VHF output and 1 300 ohm UHF output... Thanks for any suggestions rec.radio.amateur.antenna folks can give me.

I would use a 75 ohm splitter with three 300:75 baluns all of which I have in my junk box. That's assuming the antennas use 300 ohm twinlead. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Thanks to everyone. Probably need a new antenna anyway, so I'll look
into going coax. Wonder if that Winegard Ghost Killer antenna really works... Thanks again. Steve PS Don't know if they do cross-border tranactions, but it seems the 15-1135 300 ohm coupler is listed as being at some Radio Shack Canada locations but not available for on-line orders. |
