Laryn K8TVZ, So, if I understand, I should put a splitter after the pre-amp, and the control frequency should be a split channel. Does this mean that I use half way between two channels?
Another question, who makes a good splitter, and how can I know I am getting a good splitter? Ron N9EE also has given some good advice. I will use a tone on the control. I already have a receiver. It is synthesized so it is easy for me to use whatever frequency turns out to be free. Many thanks to both you and Ron.

If you can use a frequency for control that is within several channels of your input, you can split the receive coax from your duplexer to each receiver. Use a split channel for control if possible. If you use a preamp and split the output properly you'll experience no loss in sensitivity to your repeater receiver. It works great here.
