To feed three separate households you should use a balanced 3-way splitter if the cable runs are roughly equal in length. If one of the cable runs is significantly longer, use a typical 3-way splitter which has low loss on one of the three ports, which would be used to feed the longest coax run. |
Ah, so only one balun should be connected to the antenna. How far from the balun can or should the splitter be? How to waterproof the coax connections? I know for the balun there are weather boots/sleeves.
The cable runs are on three separate floors so my run would probably be the longest (1st floor of a 3-story building). I would connect my coax to the 'power pass' port then.
I was considering just buying a separate, smaller antenna just for myself and attach it to the same mast but just underneath the larger antenna. Specifically the Winegard
HD7694P that
teleview mentioned.
