V-Tronix VHF/AM/FM Radio Splitter
More about V-Tronix
Average Rating: 2 out of 5
No. of Reviews: 2
RRP: £25.99

Description: VHF/AM/FM broadcast band splitter, with VHF and car radio plugs. The perfect product for customers who want improved AM/FM radio reception, but don't want to install another antenna. The splitter uses the VHF antenna to provide AM/FM reception, without downgrading the performance of the antenna at VHF frequencies

'UNABLE TO COMMENT FULLY AT THIS JUNCTURE !!'
Weaknesses:
The VHS jack plug should be removable for threading through bulkhead glands etc.
Overall:
I have only just installed one but have no means of measuring any possible drop in VHS performance. If it works without impeding performance then it is a good product. However, William Walker has found a dramatic drop in performance so now I am in serious doubt. If I was persuaded that performance was not affected if the AM/FM radio was off, then I could live with it. The rating therfore has to reflect current doubts.

'NOT ACCEPTABLE'
Strengths:
A good idear.
Weaknesses:
I have only just installed this product after buying it in Feb.It works but the insertion loss is greater than 10db which greatly reduces the radiated power of the radio.Anyone who uses one of these will find that their VHF radio will have a reduced range.All measurments were carried out using a Watson 620 power meter,
Overall:
I will be returning this product for a refund.
