Can you run two TVs one antenna?
How many TVs can you hook up to one antenna? Theoretically, you can hook up an unlimited number of TVs to a single antenna. But the antenna’s signal strength goes down with each TV you add. This signal loss can be avoided by using a distribution amplifier.
Can you use the same antenna for multiple radios?
Diplexers allow either one radio to use two antennas, or two radios to share one antenna. The easiest and safest way to share an antenna between two radios is with an A-B antenna switch. Only one radio at a time can use the antenna, but then you’re guaranteed that you won’t backfeed RF energy into the second radio.
