Default Re: FM signal boosting

Some tuners leak some of their LO out of the RF input, and if your distribution system has other tuners running you can get interference and funny swirly noises if you have more than one tuner on at once. Most splitters (including those packaged with preamps etc leak any signal coming backwards into them out their other ports.

The troughline has a damned great resonator right up the middle of it, and LO gets everywhere.
