Pete,
Another solution: I use a multi-port amplifier that W8ZR sold a few
years ago in partial kit form. This box takes one antenna in and has
a preamp that can be switched in and out.
Another built-in amplifier boosts the signal so that it can be
distributed to eight ports without loss. I connect several receivers
to this box, and all hear the same thing from one antenna. No antenna
switching is needed. Strong signal handling is excellent.
