I have used Mini Circut Labs ZFSC-2-1 and a 2 port passive Stridsberg. I

am using a MCL PSC-3-1 to feed 3 receivers. I also got this at a hamfest.
My receivers make up the nearly 5 db loss.

How do they make up the loss? Just curious.

Maybe his radios have pre-amps like the Drakes.

When you use a passive splitter the loss is 3dB power and 6dB voltage. I
think most radio S meters are responding to the voltage number due to
the nature of the AGC circuits. Someone can correct me on this. Should
be easy enough to take a splitter in and out of line.
