"If you're combining a UHF antenna with a VHF antenna, use a UVSJ. It greatly simplifies the installation and the subsequent customer experience. There's no need for a two-cable run and an A-B switch in this configuration. There is no benefit to the more complex configuration."
I respectfully disagree.
The purpose of running two different cables is to keep the signals
separate and distinct. A "UVSJ" or combiner as it were, is nothing more than
a splitter used in reverse. When you use a combiner, both signals suffer. Period. Perhaps in the laboratory it works out differently but installing antennas 5 days a week tells a different story. Any combo antenna, regardless of brand, compromises. Period. I have NEVER found a UHF/VHF antenna that works as well as a separate antenna for UHF and another for VHF. Yes, the A/B switch is inconvenient but if a customer wants the best possible signal there's no better option.....
