I use a couple of old CATV splitters for general purposes around here and can't measure any excess (more than 3 - 4 dB) loss from common to either port.
If you want a known good design to build some of your own, try: http://cliftonlaboratories.com/z10050a_3_db_hybrid.htm 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 3/13/2014 9:13 PM, Gary K9GS wrote:
Can anyone point me to a design for a splitter for sharing a Beverage antenna between two receivers? This is for Field Day so these are not optimized Beverages by any means. Just want to allow the 80/40M stations to share antennas. Nothing fancy. My thoughts are to just use a CATV "2-Way" splitter at the output of the Beverage matching transformer and run separate feed-lines to each radio. I'm pretty sure these things work down to 1 MHz but have not measured them. I can use the pre-amp in the radio (K3) to compensate for the loss. Thoughts?
