Anyone know if a passive or active multicoupler is better. Looking at
the Stridsberg offerings. Passive is much cheaper but not sure about
signal loss. Thanks.

The actives will make up for the signal power being halved in a 1 to 2
but they cost more money. If you want to hear a signal that is just
above the receiver noise floor before the splitter you might not be
able to hear it after the power is split through the passive splitter.
Weak signals through the passive splitter will sound a little noisier
depending on your radio. If you want a 1 to 4 you should consider an
active unit.

Go active. I use their 4 port multicoupler here.

See the current issue of QST for instructions on building a very simple
one chip active multicoupler with 4 outputs in " The Doctor Is In"
column.

Check out Jim W8ZR's project at:
http://www.miami.muohio.edu/presiden.../mchistory.htm

Th heart is the Maxim MAX497, a very easy to implement 4X video buffer. One
of Jim's kits was just bought on EBay by a friend for $100 or so. Jim also
had them (kits) for sale at Dayton 2 years back.

Go active!
I built Jim's (W8ZR) 8 port active multicoupler and it's terrific. It has
some features that the Stridberg does not provide. I do not think he sells
the kits anymore however.
