The senario is as follows.
You have 1 antenna : AT-197A/GR Military Discone
You have 3 Scanners : Radio Shack Pro-2052
You have 1 Piece of RG6 Coax 50' Long
You have 3 Pieces of RG6 Coax 2' Long (jumpers)
NOW.........
You need to hook up all three scanners using the one Antenna
You are ONLY interested in scanning 200-400MHz.
Which option are you going to use.
Option A: 3 Way Splitter
or Option B: 3 Channel Relay Board
Of course if choosing Option B you would need a Power Supply.
So which would you Choose?
The 3 Way Splitter or The 3 Channel Relay Board?
I am very aware of CORRECT ways of doing this, but from a low buget
perspective, both of these options are out there, many people use the
3 way splitters, but did anyone consider using Relay's?
Select Option A or Option B and Why.
