Before you buy anything additional try all the receivers on the one or two split signals. T-adapters and short lengths of coax from the antennas to the receivers would be all you need. With the antennas up high and unless you're trying to receive weak signals, the split signal might still be strong enough for what you want to receive. If a simple Tee is used ( I assume we are not talking about a 2 way splitter as used in MATV/CATV)- local oscillator and perhaps synthesizer noise from one scanner will be impressed directly on the other scanner. Depending on the freqs monitored- this can be devastating. In addition, loss to each scanner may be dramatic at those freqs where the jumpers are odd multiples of electrical 1/4 wavelength. If the signals are not strong enough in that configuration then keep this in mind when you're looking for something to buy: these are receive-only radios that do not need to be inductively matched to a transmitter and they do not need expensive antennas designed for high power output. A duplexer is not required. Frank I don't think you mean inductively matched- perhaps impedance matched? Dale W4OP |
