If you buy the 5-10$ variety from Rat Shack you first are going have
to convert from F type to BNC connector, because they are a made for
tv device. You will get a small loss from the 2 added adapters, and the
splitter will be around -3.5db loss. From input to splitter to the scanners
input it will be close to a -4db loss. Then there is Stridesberg, who does
sell splitters (passive and active) that have BNC connectors. The active
ones will show no loss and the passive will be -3.5db loss again. If
you go with Stridesberg be prepared to write a healthy sized check,
but they are close to mil-spec as you can get and is very good stuff.
Dont let the -3.5db loss scare you,, most times you wont know the
difference, unless you are in a very weak signal area.
