Forget the spec, whatever it is. How about actually
measuring what happens to the quality of the signal
when you add the N+1st tap? Were these taps meant
for precision work? And is that quartz precision (1e-9)
or cesium precision (1e-12)?

I wonder if the 1/Nth extra drain on the RF/12V coax
will cause a slight phase shift for all existing taps on
the line?

Do you have a 5370B free for a quick phase test?
