Reverse a splitter to combine signals from different antennas. Splitters contain no electronic devices and don't require any power, making them "passive" instead of "active. " Because of this, they can be connected in reverse without any damage. I'm still pulling in MOST OTA channels by pointing to the "antenna farm" 30 miles NE of us, but there's a handful of. I've read that using a passive 1 to 2 coax splitter is not ideal because of signal loss. If i can avoid it I'd rather not buy a powered splitter so what i was wondering is could i use one of these in reverse: So rather than have two inputs and one output (depending on switch position, not combined). Pretty sure the answer is yes. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to distribute a signal to multiple devices, such as: Coax splitters are. Yes, an RF splitter can often be used as an RF combiner, but there are important considerations and limitations to keep in mind.
