Title: set up question
Post by: skippyinspace on October 08, 2012, 09:44:44 PM

If in wrong area please move

I have my SBS3 connected to a dedicated antenna for 1080 reception.

The other antenna port is connected to a diamond x30 antenna.
What I would like to do is split this antenna between possibly 2 scanners and a Dstar hand held and or a Yaesu 897D

I would like to be able to hear on all recievers at the sametime, I know I will need a switch for transmitting.

What is the best way of doing this.

I have been banned from putting another antenna on the roof

Not cheap but I have one to share one antenna to various Mode-S receivers. Does the job without losing data.

I am afraid the only way is a 4 way switch
Receive would be fine with an SP-3 or similar splitter but when you put Transmit in the equation it is a completely different ball game.

Try Spectrum Comms they used to do a VHF auto switch for multi radios but from memory it was restricted to 10 watts

Call and ask for Tony he is a really nice guy

Not cheap either but if you are limited with antenna laws you may want to look in to their offer
about all you can have .
