Satellite TV splitters work. They even have the answer to "how much attenuation" printed right on the splitter and they come with F type connecters you can use the recommended TV type antenna cable too. You can buy them with DC blockers too. All this stuff is low cost because it is mass produced by the billions Yes, it's 75 ohm not 50 and the splitters a 2+ GHz but it works just fine if your antenna has the right gain. The splitters don't high pass the signal. Trimble actually recommends using the 75 Ohm TV cable and supplies it with their kits. Sometimes a GPS receiver will raise an "Antenna Alarm" if it does not see a DC load but you can turn those off with a serial command -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
