I was going to post a thread about this, but then I ran across this one.

Just installed this splitter, and my FM is coming in better (I had a 1' rubber whip on the fender beforehand), and the CB SWR numbers have dropped considerably after tuning.

I'd recommend this, especially since it's so cheap. I'm running a 4' Firestik-type antenna on the front bumper, and nothing on the fender. I like the look with only one antenna.

I also tuned the AM, and it's working fine, too. I don't use AM that much, though.
