OK, thanks for your input. I do see a major difference in the kt-200 having only .4 db noise where the ap-8275 has 2.8 dp noise. And I do know that amplifiers that are designed to amplify the signal will also amplify the static (noise) also. But replacing the drop amp with a passive splitter confuses me. I see where 4-way passive splitters will reduce the signal strength by as much as 12 db, and that seems like alot when my signals are so low to begin with. Please help me understand this theory. Seems if I reduce the noise level, a splitter that boosts the signal going out to what is going in would be a good idea??
