Stridsberg is the consumer grade gear most scanner enthusiasts use.

That's an active splitter for $185. Probably a good unit. I think DxAce
uses one.

i can't vouch for the quality.

RF systems SP-1 looks like it but it's $99.95. I guess that's not
unreasonable but seems a little high.

I could build one for $20. Mini circuits have small transformers and you
would need to buy a metal box and three PL-259 connectors.

apologies if the OP needs an active unit.

Yep, Stridsberg is the one.

I looked around and nobody seems to make one.
Sure they do! They are called splitters or multicouplers.

I didn't see any inexpensive ones made for HF. Plenty of them at higher
frequencies or amplified units so who makes a simple unit for HF that is
a transformer or resistive coupled




Stridsberg, or ICE makes the couplers. Your choice of connector may
require mod, or adaptor.

LS,

I perfer the Alpha-Delta to the Daiwa and MFJ
Two Position Antenna Switches --for- connecting
Overkill. Use a CATV A/B switch.

I'm using an Eavesdropper "C" antenna, if that helps. I'll look into your
recommendation - thank you!

What you really want is a multicoupler.

This would do nicely. ;-)

I think if you have an amplified antenna (wellbrook for instance), a
simple passive splitter is passable for much of what you monitor. Of
course, if the signal is weak, the splitter will add noise. For
instance, I couldn't see using one for say AFN.

How so? I'm interested . . .

Easier to make one than to buy one.

Thanx - I'll check it out!

A ferrite toroid, some magnet wire, 3 connectors and a box..
