Low Band 42mhz amplified splitter/distribution amp

[trooperdude]

I've been collecting low band radios lately and need something that will feed them from a single Ringo base antenna.

Stridsburg is over-rated and over-priced, and didn't have very good performance on low band when I did own one.

The Electrolines have a cut off of 54Mhz, so that's out.

Any reasonably priced suggestions that are 4 port with a potential for 6 port
amplified ?

I'd even be willing to put one together from a low-noise amplifier that's centered
near 42Mhz, and a splitter if there is one that works well on Low Band.

Ideally I'd like to cut off everything below 30 Mhz and above 50 Mhz to get rid of interference potential from 10 meter and 6 meter ham.

something like this maybe more the ticket than an amp. I get great results in vhf high with something similar. You'd be amazed at how well a band pass filter will work. http://cgi.ebay.com/K-L-5BT-32-64-5...ryZ25403QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Looks cool, he does have 100% feedback, price is reasonable ... but it does have to come from Israel. I have gotten things from Europe okay, even Bulgaria, and Russia ... but they were stamps not electronic parts.

So ... ??

Doesn't quite solve my multicoupler problem however.

I have 4 radios I need to split from one antenna.

Mini-circuits has some decent splitters that will work in that frequency range.

Lowband is usually noise limited, not signal strength limited, so you can probably use a splitter with no amp with very acceptable results.

Yes, this is where I'm leaning after looking around at reasonable $$$ options.

I have both a minicircuits low-noise-low-gain amp, and a 4-way distribution splitter.

Now I have to find N to sma adpter for the input and sma to PL259
cables and one sma to miniUHF cable for the radios.

Off to Haltek for a project box.

I use this amp with no problem as low as 33 MHz.

Then spend some time checking out the rest of their products.

I didn't know they went that low.

I will have to check into it, thanks.

A bit too much gain for being urban however, I'll look around at the site.

Thanks
