In the collection of splitters I have on hand and have opened, I see one or more differences in capacitors as well as some splitters that don't' bother with the isolation network between the two outputs (two coils and resistor). |
Thanks for the splitter information; very helpful.

As you are finding out, it is not easily done. You first must try your antennas without combining to see if reception is possible. Then, when you combine them, if you are not able to receive all the channels that you had when the antennas were separate, combining doesn't work for you.
There seems to be a difference of opinion between ADTech and Tower Guy about the potential success of combining 4 antennas in this manner. With so many factors involved, I would just have to try it.

Why not?
