[Moon-net] 28 MHz signal splitter

[Earl (Jim) Shaffer, WB9UWA]

Hi Lance.

Here is the less clumsey answer you were waiting for.
Do your receivers really have a 50 ohm input?
I would be very surprised if they did.
SWR is not a factor in this case.
Even if SWR did cause additional loss, you said you had
plenty of gain.
Just use the T connector and conventient lengths of 50 ohm
coax to your receivers.

Here is another thought.
Does one receiver get WAY more signal then it needs?
Put a series resister in line at the T connector to that receiver.
The other receiver now gets nearly all the RX signal.

73, Jim Shaffer, WB9UWA.
