I'm afraid you're right, Dave. I had the RX output into terminal 1 and
the line back in on terminal 2, because I figured the "common" terminal
should be the one going to the SDR. Great to get this straight, finally.

Are you hooking up the splitter correctly? RX ANT OUT from the radio
goes to the common terminal of the splitter, and one of the two
independent splitter outputs goes to RX ANT IN on the radio. The
other independent splitter output goes to the SDR. Sorry to bring up
such a simple possibility, but sometimes it's the simple stuff that
trips us up.

I don't know why I didn't think of that. Just tried it, and there is
no difference in S-meter reading , so it may/must be a splitter
problem. I tried it with another spltter, with and and without the
SDR, and, again, large drop. WTF???

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.
