I'd be interested in such a kit. Over time, I've found that ABC (real 13) is weak or dirty enough that even though it shows 92% or so most of the time, I'm getting dropouts for no apparent reason using only the DB4e. The other VHF station is fine at 100%.

I could add my loose rabbit ear dipole, but by the time I buy and ship a combiner (or pay $14 including NYS tax at Radio Shack), I'm more than halfway to the price of a kit, and my dipole isn't outdoor capable anyway, and would just be hanging from the twin lead or stabbed into a rafter.
