Thanks! I was thing about a TEE and was concerned about the front end of
each receiver.

Yes i do have the FAX-5 antenna installed.

And a coax switch may be the next option before mounting another whip!

What about a discone antenna, other than looks onboard a boat!

I have an ICOM M-802 SSB and a Furuno FAX-30 (Weather Fax Reciever)
onboard my boat. The ICOM M-802 has a dedicated receive port for DSC
Receive. Can I share the FAX-30 Antenna with the DSC receive port of the
SSB? if so what coupler should i use? (The SSB Xmit/Rec antenna is
3meters away)

The FAX-30 can handle a variety of antennas. Do you have the FAX-5 active
antenna? You can probably connect the M-802 DSC port and the FAX-5/FAX-30
together through a simple coax tee connector. There is not likely to be
any interaction between the devices. If interactions should arise, the
simplest solution is a coax switch. The switch would be left in the DSC
position except when using the FAX-30.

As a precaution, you might contact Furuno and get their opinion. I would
think the "dual use" potential for the FAX-5 antenna would be a selling
point for Furuno and cause them to give your question a serious response.
The question of a separate DSC antenna for the M-802 is likely to be
around for a while.

Good luck.
