B) The Antronix splitter I have (model number in the attic) which
sells for about $2.50 online and has each output labeled 3.5db iirc.
Others I have, including an Antronix which sells for 1.50 (HS-2A)
don't label the db's and the web advertisements for the HS-2A don't
say anything either. . Are they inferior, more db, and if you know,
is that why they aren't labeled?

I also have a 1-3 Antronix splitter which has all 3 outputs labelled
5.5 db. I thought you guys said that was between unlikely and
impossible that they're equal, and 5.5 is lower than the usual number.
It's model HS-3AB10S , but that gives not a single hit in google nor
at www.antronix.com . There's some reason they don't still make it.
Probably wrong about the dbs.

1-3 splitters can be balanced or unbalanced. In balanced splitters, all
outputs are equal (loss of 5.5-5.9 dB.) In unbalanced splitters, one output
is much greater (3.5-4.1 dB loss) than the other two (6.8-8.2 dB loss.)

Some balanced 1-3 splitters?
