While many of your posts are on topic and informative, you
have a nasty streak that is sad. In the thread on spliters
I mentioned that I compared weak signals and found very few
that an addional ~3.5dB loss had any effect.
That is relevent to the question of the need for a preamp
before a splitter.

You are begining to remind me of cuhulin.
At least he has an excuse.
He is either crazy or druck.

You appear to be a reasonable person, yet from time to time
you lash out in what I can ony perceive as anger.

How about a deal?
I will not reply to your post and you will not reply to mine.

No need for flame wars that solve nothing and only waste time
and resources. Or if you prefer we can waste the energy to
nit-pick each other to tears.

A loss is a loss is a loss, 'tard boy. You can portray it any which way you
want.

Your loss, unfortunately is not my gain. But I hope you are content with your
loss. Remember though, those losses are additive.

Continue to try DX'ing.

I have long ago crossed this guy off any type of list I may have once

You should do the same

A signal loss isn't a concern if you can still receive the signal
clearly and have any gain left, at all. Why do you think your radio has
AGC and or manual gain control along with a volume control? How often
is the gain wide open on your receiver? Do you even know how to find
out?

If you want to add gain before or after the splitter a tuned preamp
is a better choice than a wideband amp if there is any strong RF in your
area. On the other hand Mini circuits monolithic rf amps are decent and
cheap if you know how to lay out a circuit board, or have a pile of
surplus boards built to take them.

Tell me, how do you cure an overload when a rocket is launched near
the tracking station, yet allow you to track the bird as the signal
rapidly drops in signal strength? We had to solve this for the Italian
movement's space program. when we built their turnkey receiving systems.

Tell me why almost every receiver has more than one attenuator built
in if loss is the end all of receiving a signal. BTW, a crystal radio
with an audio amp doesn't count.

A tuned pre-amp is better even if there is no strong RF in the area. The
more narrow the BW the lower the possible noise floor can be depending
on design of course.

The draw back of course is that you have to tune it.

The advantage is a lower noise floor.

I wish you would have asked him to go away. and that he would have agreed.

he is the most consistant biggest arrogant nastiest asshole I have seen on
the net.

the group would be much better off without him scaring away the nice people
that show up. seeing him insult everyone is NOT good for the group. A fact
this is and shall always be.

he reminds me of Hitlers medical researchers. did the research justify the
inhuman treatment the subjects got.
or animal research for cosmetics,
does the research justify the cruelty

my point is, his cruelty towards people does not offset whatever good he
does.
