Forgot to add an important point. If you have a coax run of more than
10-20 feet please dont use RG 58. You will get more loss from it than
the splitter especially at the higher freqs. If you dont want to/cant run
the bigger heavier coax i.e. RG 213 go with RG 6. Its a 75 ohm cable
instead of 50 but has very good loss rates and the difference in impedance's
will be negligible and its the same basic diameter of RG 58.
