[time-nuts] WTB: GPS Antenna Splitter

[Peter Loron]

Well, may memory was somewhat faulty. The units I have are 
3ZN2PD-1910-1. There is a seller on ebay with the same thing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Circuits-3ZN2PD-1910-1-RF-Power-Splitter-LUCENT-COMCODE-408781904-/131191412618

If anybody is interested, I'll let mine go for $20 shipped in USA each.
