Couplers "should not" degrade the signal much but they are a point for water to enter and can have problems making reliable contact. Two cable connectors are added to the total run for each F-barrel-connector, that increases the chance for a problem also.

Two way splitters have about 3.5 dB insertion loss.

The test I suggested would bypass all of those possible problem spots... then you'd know if you have trouble in the existing cable, connectors or splitter.
