Default Looking for a powered RF splitter

Radio Shack used to sell a powered 4 way RF splitter.
One RF signal in, 4 RF signals out. Supposedly something
like a broad band emitter follower.

The Radio Shack things were junk: noisy, poor high
frequency performance, not as good as a passive
splitter.

Is there anything on the market that does work?

TIA


There's plenty over here in the UK that work perfectly adequately,
generally available from any reasonable electronic / electrical
outlet, so I'm sure there must be over your side of the pond as well.
Bear in mind that with terrestrial broadcasts going digital all over
the world, if the transmission system that your broadcasting
authorities are (going to be) using, is anything like ours, then any
kind of distribution amplifier that you use needs to be specced for
the digital signals, which over here means very wideband, and very
linear. In my experience, the digital signals are actually nothing
like as robust as they would have you believe ...

I agree with you. Woolworths do one, but its only two outputs and does
indicate its suitability for digital. Bit expensive though at £12.00.
