I've got five scanners setup under different agencies as I work for two counties and EMS/Fire/Police throughout each . This has been the easiest way to monitor, however I'd like to set them up with external antennas outside my window. Is there a way to use a splitter to have 4-5 all go to one antenna or what would be the best option for this? I'm not familiar with the hardware needed for this, as I've only seen splitters that lets me run two into one antenna. Thanks for your time!

Take your splitter, and divide input by output. A splitter will split 1 in by (x)out out, i.e 1 in 5 out, each out will get 1/5th the original signal. Extrapolate as per your splitter. Best is to find a scanner that will best receive all your systems on a dedicated antenna.

Others will correct as necessary.

You need a multicoupler. It will connect X amount of radios to one antenna. Read the sticky at the top of this page for tons of info on this subject.
