I use a pair of BNC to BNC cables, about 4" long, from the RX OUT and RX
IN to a "T" connector. The 3rd port of the "T" goes to the SDR. I find
that the SDR input impedance, is nowhere close to 50 ohms, is high
enough that it doesn't load the signal on the main RX. Again, no
splitter required. No loss encountered.
Yes, one does have to select RX ANT on the front panel for this to be
active.

I see about a 3 S-unit drop in signal
level when routing through the splitter
Pete (N4ZR), what do you see with a straight cable linking in/out?
I have no idea about Minicircuits splitters, but my home made one had a
measured 3.1 dB loss at 29.7 MHz.
