Multicoupler versus splitter
- Thread starter Bonkk083

Splitters split. Couplers do not. For strong signals you should not notice much loss with a splitter. For weaker distant signals, you may notice loss.
Will it be better to use the multicoupler

can you put local/strong signals in one radio and then the antenna on the other radio.
no splitting that way.

Yes but can't tell if it's working lately I put the frequencies I had in my 996 into the 536 and not picking up anything and service types are set but custom is checked also
Myself and a couple others use a TV splitter with a LNA in front to make up for the loss. Only issue is the F to anything adapters.
Make sure your rf in and rf out are wired correctly.
Should the light be red are green
To be honest I do not know. I did just read someone had one with a green led and one with a red led.

Stridsberg Multicoupler Failures
I have a couple of Stridsberg 8 port multi-couplers and a couple of 4 port versions. They are/were not installed at the same location. Each of them has failed. I haven't opened them up yet, but I imagine something in the front end is blown. 1) Have any of you had these problems with this...
A recent one that came on board here has a red light. Earlier versions had green. As the new one in use here is working fine, I'd say the red is normal.
The light is whatever color they put in it. It's not the type that changes color. I have one unit with a red LED and another with a green LED.
This is working well for me for milair and a 225-400 filter and lna
Will the Stridesburg hurt digital 800 performance I put the antenna that come with the scanner and receive signals 30 miles away but when I connect the outdoor antenna through the Stridesburg and get nothing could that be the noise ratio
How does the outdoor do direct to the scanner? Should be exactly the same. If stock antenna is doing better than outdoor, then there may be a problem

see post 4 above.
the outside antenna could be in a dead spot.
the outside antenna could be in a dead spot.
Is there a difference between the outdoor antenna connected directly to the scanner versus through the Stridesburg? What's likely happening is the outdoor antenna is picking up a (non-desired) strong signal and that's effectively reducing your receiver's sensitivity. I have strong signals from paging, cell towers, AM/FM broadcast and the like near me, so I've added filters to reduce the strength of those signals between the antenna and the amplifier (Stridesburg).
And what happens when you hook the outdoor antenna directly to the scanner?
Should I put all the 800 frequencies in that system are just the control frequencies
