Receiver Multi-Coupler
for running more than
one receiver!
In keeping with my
policy of reusing everything, here is another item I have come across
that just fits right in around the shack. It is an antenna Multicoupler system, made by the
TCI corporation for the military, they also make complete receive and DF systems.

life and got them.
the original unit comes with the power supply and two splitter boards installed. The power
supply was to provide DC voltage down the coax to the preamps at the antenna.
The divider board looks like this:

Across the bottom of the connector
panel
is RF input at the left and four outputs to the receivers.
The device is an MCL (Mini Circuits Labs) PSC-4-1 Power Splitter/Combiner, specs are here in

These units are great for running
multiple receivers on one antenna, and they work great.
