Thinking about ADTech's recommendation some more, I think I'm going to move my UVSJ from the top of the tree to the bottom of the tree, and use separate down-leads for UHF and VHF. I already have two downleads installed anyway: the original RG-6 downlead and my current RG-11. Extending this line of thought, I think my VHF signal is strong enough that I can get away without amplifying it, and only amplify my UHF feedline. Moving the UVSJ downstream of the amplifier could save me the insertion loss on the UHF side. Does that make sense?
Does the Antennas Direct UVSJ pass power on the UHF side? If not, is there a make/model that does?
