I have two scanners on a discone, and I get a noise on the other scanner
when one changes bands (they both do it to each other). A friend recommended
using 75 ohm coax and a tv splitter/amplifier. Amplified ones will isolate
the outputs to alleviate that problem.
Now a couple of points. Using 75 ohm coax rather than 50 ohm that the
scanner is looking for is ok, and will not hinder performance in any
measureable amount. The other is if you have a strong FM station near you,
it may cause overloading with the amplifier. Redice the gain if it is
adjustable.

Thanks in advance guys.

This fellow makes some good ones.

The stridsbergs are the way to go. I'm running a RS pro-2050 and pro-2030
at
the same time using a regular ol coax splitter. Seems to work fine for me,
though Im sure there is some signal loss. I'm using the cheapo RS scanner
antenna in the attic.
