Chris,

I have similar antennas to setup. I am going to try a solution I have
thought up. Will be up on the roof doing it tomorrow. I am going to try two
TV amps. One standard VHF/UHF one and then another which diplexes VHF/UHF
and Band 5 UHF (ie. 600MHz +). The output of the VHF/UHF amp goes into the
Band 5 amp on the VHF/UHF input. The two will be powered by the one inline
power supply. They are GME Kingray devices. These are local Aussie amps.
There are similar VHF/UHF and Band 5 ones in US and Europe.

Well it all sounds well in theory. The main thing is that I hope I don't get
too much intermod etc with wrong signals being amplified. I might just not
have the VHF/UHF amp but I would like to as mixing it in with the other amp
takes about 1dB out.

So stay tuned.

Hello to the group. I have just purchased a Uniden 796D for home use and
need your valuable input. I've just purchased an Antenex 3db 800 meg
omni-directional base antenna, that I plan on installing on my roof, for
optimum reception (and Belden 9913 cable as well). I already have a

VHF/UHF
base antenna up on the roof and I would like to run both antennas to the
796D. Can I get by with just using a T-connector for both antennas or do I
need to go with some kind of duplexer? If any of you have done something
like this, I would like to hear your ideas.

Thank You,

Chris
