Re: #2 What you probably saw in the Radio Shack unit was three, 25 ohm resistors joined at common junction. 1) Insertion loss is 6dB, not 3dB 2) Isolation is only 6dB One way to do a true 3 dB splitter at VHF/UHF is with a "magic tee" or auto-transformer. But you need ferrite cores to do it. There might be some info from Fair-Rite Products Corp. You can also do a lumped element approximation of a Wilkinson divider. Replace the quarter wave sections with their lumped equivalent.
