This question may be slightly offtopic but I figured I would post to
the group that knows antennas best. I have 2 TV antennas, one VHF and
one UHF, that I would like to combine to use a single coax feed. The
specs on a suitable joiner state it has .5dB insertion loss with 30dB
rejection between ports. The specs on a typical splitter are 3.5dB
loss and only 20dB between ports. The question I have is why would
anyone ever use a splitter instead of a joiner? Are there any
applications where you couldn't use a joiner instead of a splitter?
Thank you.
