Hello,

Expect to purchase an A/B switch box to switch the coax lead from a single
receive-only antenna to one of two scanners.

Got to wonder about using a "Splitter" instead.

What is the typical insertion loss for a Splitter ?
(the Scanner freq's go up close to 1 GHz)

I will always be using, and have On, only one of the receivers at a time.
Thus the other spigot will be always be looking at a receiver that is Off.

Will I still have the insertion loss if only one receiver is on (but the
other receiver that is Off would still be connected to the Splitter) ?

Thanks,
Bob
