Thanks in advance......................................................................... .........................

I have this outdoor FM antenna on a rotator that's sitting in the attic already set up. I want to hook it up to both my receivers that take either 75 or 300 ohm inputs. I was just wondering how to go about hooking it up to BOTH. I guess what I should be asking is...How do I split the output of an FM antenna for hookup to two stereos for best results (an amplifier, certain cable, etc)?

................................................................................ ....................for responding

just use a 75 ohm 2 way splitter and use 75 to 300 ohm converter to 300 ohm reciver.

Are you sure? The problem is the antenna is pretty far away(200 ft). I guess I can try hooking it up and see if the signal is strong enough.

I don't know the size of your antenna, I can't tell how much it gain, but a 2way splitter will lost 3.5db.

Well, the Antenna says +12dB, so I think it'll be strong enough of a signal.
