Should I put a combiner up there and hook them together?
The RCA antenna connects to the VHF input of the RCA TVPRAMP1R preamp and the MCM Stellar Labs UHF panel antenna connects to the UHF input of the preamp. The preamp switch should be set to separate.

Sometimes the combined/separate switch of the RCA preamp doesn't make good contact with the VHF antenna. If that happens to your preamp, use a UVSJ to combine the VHF and UHF antennas. The RCA VHF antenna would connect to the VHF port of the UVSJ and the UHF panel antenna would connect to the UHF port of the UVSJ. Connect the output common port of the UVSJ to the UHF/COMBINED INPUT of the preamp, and set the combined/separate switch to combined.

Do not use a splitter in reverse as a combiner.
