Antenna Connector Set Up

[zzdiesel]

Guys, I have two handhelds (BCD436HP & a Pro-18) here in my bedroom that I'm listening to. Trouble is one has a BNC connector & the other has the SMA connector. The antenna I use is a dipole with a female BNC connector. What can I do to connect both radios to this one dipole. I need some kind of T-connector with one connector being a female BNC & 2 being male SMA connectors. Anyone got any ideas as to how I can do all this without much signal loss & tell me what parts/connectors I need.

Thanks in advance!

Firstly you can't just split it with a "Tee" or other splitter without signal loss.

More expensive option - Get a 2 port Stridsberg multicoupler, a BNC male to BNC male jumper and a BNC Male to SMA jumper.

Less expensive option get a cable drop amp, but then you'll have to deal with adapting it's "F" connector input and outputs to BNC/SMA

Get a BNC to SMA adapter for the SMA radio, then use a BNC T connector.
Amazon.com : SMA Male to BNC Female RF Adapter : Electronics Cable Adapters : Electronics

Amazon.com : RiteAV - BNC T-adapter splitter : Electronics

Amazon.com : RG58 / AU Stranded BNC Cable, Braided, 3 ft BNC Male to BNC male 1HA : Audio Cables And Video Cables : Electronics

Splitting the antenna between two radios will result in a 3db+ loss to each.
