Combing UHF and VHF antennas

Post by tonybackache »

What do I need to combine UHF antenna (coax) and VHF antenna (coax) into 1 coax?

I've done it using nothing more complex than a normal splitter -- used in reverse. But then, I'm cheap. Feed each antenna into the "outputs" and take your output from the input.

I researched online and found others who had used splittter in reverse.
