I think your post was for Ubbe, but I'll comment on this also. Any loss from SWR is reciprocal and will affect transmit and receive. The loss from bad SWR at the antenna or due to mismatch between 50/75 ohm cables, etc, is usually small and it may go unnoticed on receive but its still there.
Also, Stridsberg makes both active and passive splitters, so I'm guessing your comment on Stridsberg being the only answer would be for the active type, which I agree with unless you can live with a bunch of loss for the passive version.

Despite what you have shown here I must instantly disagree with what you have written. For receiving purposes SWR does not play a factor in regards to a scanner or any receiver. IF it is used for transmitting, say a ham radio, then I agree. You can attach a paper clip to the back of a scanner and be able to receive, however if done to a amateur radio and one attempts to transmit, then fat chance. I should know as I have had my ham radio license since 1968 and I seriously doubt things have changed in regards to standing wave ratio and reception issues. For accessing multiple radios a splitter really wouldn't work as a Stridsberg would be the ONLY answer.
