Topband: Re: Antenna splitter

[Hermod Pedersen]

Several have asked about the info on the antenna splitter I posted:

>What is the PS1? I take that it is a transformer. Details?

Well, I gave a quick link to a schematic for the antenna splitter made by a 
Finnish DXer.
Now several have asked about some details, which I of course never thought of.
So I have dug into this briefly, but please keep in mind that while I am 
Scandinavian, Finnish still remains are fairly different language even to 
us, their close neighbours.

Still, this is what I have found out from the Finnish parts (and I will add 
some links for those wishing to brush up their own Finnish...):

The PSC-4-1 is made by Mini-Circuits Inc, USA

How this is used in this splitter is explained in more details in Finnish:

Broadband amplifier schematics also supplied (but so far I am at a loss on 
where it fits in):

Antenna splitter schematic (which started this thread):

For further translations on this you, as well as myself, will have to ask 
for assistance from any Finnish speaking Ham who might read this.
All I can hope for is having been able to steer you all in the right 
direction. And to all the nice stuff on the http://www.sci.fi/~ijl/ site. 
Where you, by the way, will find the email address to Ilpo J. Leppäsen.
