Mendelson writes Ian Jackson wrote: As I describe, a preamp plus splitter. I don't know what Radio Shack stock, but in the UK, you can buy 40 to 860 MHz wideband units at several DIY stores. Gains per output range from 0 to around 10dB. Outputs 2 to 6. The internal splitting may simply use resistors (and not use the low-loss ferrites used in CATV splitters), but they work fine. Some have separate diplexed inputs for TV and FM. Cost $30 to $50. It may be more difficult than you think. The U.K. TV system went to UHF only a long time ago. Amplifiers for TV antennas may be designed to filter out VHF signals to prevent interference. Ones designed for splitting cable TV would be wideband. It pays to ask. I tried to look up Radio Shack's web site in the U.K. (or Tandy's), but could not find it. The OP appears to be in Guatemala, so I don't know what will be readily available from local DIY and electrical stores. However, a search on "radio shack"+FM+TV+amplifier brings up lots of websites. These show examples of the type of equipment which should be suitable. The following site shows amplifiers and splitters which should be suitable: http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/1237607.html Something like Radio Shack Catalog # 15-2506 should be OK. It does not say it covers the FM band, but I expect that it does. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search Or there are these: http://www.radioshack.com/search/ind...p litter&sr=1 Here is a list of RS model numbers (you may have to re-flow this link): http://72.30.186.56/search/cache?p=%...TF-8&fr=yfp-t- 501&x=wrt&meta=vc%3D&u=support.radioshack.com/productinfo/productresults.asp%3Fname%3Dvideo_accessories%26id %3D006001002&w=% 22radio+shack%22+fm+tv+%22distribution+amplifier%2 2&d=HymMAurnO7JO&icp=1&.intl=uk Ian. -- |
