be able to receive on both receivers at the same time . . .

Stridsberg is the consumer grade gear most scanner enthusiasts use.

That's an active splitter for $185. Probably a good unit. I think DxAce
uses one.

Yep, Stridsberg is the one.

- If you are going to use a splitter, you might as well go active.
- In either case (active or passive), you are going to get a bit
- more noise, but the active design should have better isolation.

More money, more complicated but the amplification can mitigate loss of
signal and provide more isolation between outputs.
