2 antennas 1 scanner

[quebecradioguy]

Hi, i would like to know if there will be any problem for me connecting 2 antennas to my Grecom PSR-500. One 406-512mhz antenna and one 760-870mhz nmo laird antenna.


I do already have a splitter but will i have a big lost of db or something? Thanks for advices im pretty new to the aftermarket antenna!!

a splitter would work fine. Any loss, doubt if you could detect it. I guess you are going to switch back and forth. Though I have ran two antennas to one radio, with a two in one out adapter, no switch, it worked fine.

What do you mean by switching back and forth?

There's a sticky that addresses this question -

if you get an antenna switch, 2 in one out, like a mfj-1702C, or a diamond cx-210A, or a Diawa cs-201 you just rotate the switch left or right for what ever item is connected at the two in ports. The one in goes to your scanner. Now if you have a t connector, amphhenol 83-1t you can just leave both antennas hooked up and use both. The radio senses which antennas receives the best, no switching. If You are transmitting, the radio current goes to the antenna that has the best swr. Its the same as dipole antennas with multi wires attached for different bands. If you feed enough antennas, you =have in theory a dicone antenna.

Those are the T i got right now. Both antennas connected to it and to the scanner.. Seems to be a little bad on 153mhz...
