Hello,
Would appreciate your opinions on the following, please: I have two scanners that I now have connected to a single Scantenna antenna in the attic. Receiving only. The coax comes from the antenna to an A/B push-button switch I bought from Grove. It's a cheap switch, only $20, and made in China. They imply on their web site that the body is die cast metal, but it came to me with a plastic body. http://www.grove-ent.com/SWC01.html It's their SWC01, supposedly good to 2 GHz, and uses F connectors. It appears identical to the TVC brand AB-90 switch from Home Network Supply, which says on their description that there is 90 db isolation. https://www.homenetworksupply.com/pr..._id=5854125807 Pushbutton A is arranged so that it switches the antenna to the upstairs scanner, while pushbutton B switches it to the coax leading to the downstairs scanner. Well, big surprise. I can push button B, but yet hear (at much reduced volume) conversations on the upstairs scanner. Sure doesn't seem like 90 db isolation. Is this what is to be expected on these cheap switches, or possibly just a bum one, or... ? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thanks, Bob |
