Hi All,

 

I know that these splitters are for the CB band.  Does anyone know of

similar type splitter for the ham 2 meter / 440 mHz bands? (one that can

handle a max of 50 watts or so w/o melting?  I've got a Yeasu 5100 dual

bander installed in my 3 week old miata & I want to get rid of the mag

mount.  After having my P/U truck stolen and all the radios removed with

a crowbar last year, I really want to go into "stealth" mode.



Thanks,

 

Dave
