Steven, a nav signal splitter has to make the tiny signals from your antenna go to two (or more) receivers at once. They're simple and cheap. The com radios are another story entirely. If you were only going to receive, you could use a signal splitter like the navs but transmitting requires an RF switch. Without a switch the full power of either of your transmitters would be fed directly to the receiver in the other radio. Not good for a device that's designed to convert extremely small signals into audio. With the RF switch when you key the mike to transmit on say radio one, it disconnects the receiver of radio two during your transmission and sends the full power of the transmitter to the antenna. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
