It was posted here if I use a TV cable splitter 1 to 4 then my scanners would only get 1/4 of the signal strength each. Just wondering is that still true if I turn off three of the four scanners? Would the "off scanners" become coax traps assuming I use 4 foot BNC patch cables from the splitter to each scanner? Don't know if this has been asked before?
