Here's a question:
In planning for the upcoming fall contest season, I have been
upgrading my Beverage system. I run two radio, single op and
feed the Beverages through the auxiliary receive antenna inputs
on my Omni-VI Plus transceivers. One problem I had last year
was the constant flipping of a coax switch to feed the Beverages
to whatever rig "needed" them. Often, I found (with one rig on
80 and one on 160) that what I really needed was the Beverages
in both rigs at once.
The incredibly insightful answer I have come up with is to use
a T connector and feed them to both rigs simultaneously. The
question is: is it really going to be that easy? Or, is there
some pitfall I'm missing? Incoming signal reduction due to
the splitting? Hmmm?
