    Oh yes, I am aware of them. I actually have had one on my Trans Am for years now. As others have said, they do work but, it's pretty limited for distance. Good enough for quick highway information on the interstate and that's about it. Mines even a little worse just because it's an electric antenna but, still better than nothing.

    I'll just keep taking the 4 footer off and on and maybe use the 2 footer in the garden to prop up the tomatoes. :-)

    you might laugh your ass off but the splitters are in reality a duplexer and work really well and they are safe to use i have made and installed may over the years and never had any problems other than getting less range as the tune the the antenna to both CB and FM so that you get a perfect match please do some research before making such ill informed comments thanks.
