how much back end rejection would one expect?
My main scanner is a Radio Shack 2037, no trunking abliities. It goes
through 956mgz I believe.
I had also thought about using a splitter to go to the main TV, and
then also to my small TV and to the scanner via another switch. Would
that degrade the input signal to much to make it of real value? I also
have other antennas for use with the scanner so I would have other
choices for antennas.
Just curious. Merry Christmas to all! Jon in South Carolina.
