Re: TV / FM / Sat. Spliter thingy.

Ahem...

In aerial parlance a balun is a BALanced to UNbalanced transformer, useful for matching the inherently balanced dipole to the unbalanced coaxial feeder.

What you mean is a LNB Low Noise Block converter....

That is generally very good advice to use CT100 or similar cables but if your stuck with a bit of the older low-loss TV aerial cable in your wall it may well still work, well ours does!, but if you were doing the job from scratch then CT100 it is:)

Its all relative:-))

FWIW when you receive microwave signals you need to have as low noise amplifier and frequency converter as possible, in order to make up the gain loss in the overall system, so hence the lo noise bit, obviously the lower the noise figure the better the performance of your receiving system....

Without going into a lecture about it all......

I want DAB distributed (as well as FM and UHF and maybe satellite bands). Are these MK units suitable, of course given a suitable ampilfier / multiswitch. I noted there were two sections in the MK units.

I'm pretty certain that the DAB band 226 MHz ish is covered by modern equipment.

Course you should not need an aerial for the crystal clear CD quality reception;()

I know dab sounds rubbish but I won tuners and while I'm wiring I'd be as well running in a co-ax for DAB if a separate one is needed.
