Teeing off is a rather different matter than jointing a cable. For a
start, if you're feeding two destinations, you'll get a double
termination unless it's done correctly.



Yep. You have to use a resistive pad to get it right, and you lose 3db
in the process.


Better, surely, to use a low loss inductive type?



Yes. but you still lose the 3db Sctually it must be more with
resistors mustn't it?
