AM/FM and DAB+ Band Splitter Routes a Single Antenna Signal to Separate AM/FM and DAB+ Receivers

Product Overview

The GME SPL003 is a band splitter that allows a single vehicle antenna to serve both an AM/FM radio receiver and a DAB+ digital radio receiver simultaneously. AM/FM and DAB+ receive on different frequency bands the SPL003 splits the incoming antenna signal and routes the appropriate frequency content to each receiver without signal interference between the two.

This is useful in installations where separate AM/FM and DAB+ antenna connections are required but only one antenna is available or practical. The SPL003 is a splitter only no antenna, cables, or receivers are included.

Features & Benefits

  • AM/FM and DAB+ band splitting — routes the correct frequency bands to each respective receiver from a single antenna input
  • Allows one antenna to serve two receivers — eliminates the need for a dedicated DAB+ antenna when an existing AM/FM antenna is already installed
  • Genuine GME accessory — designed for use with GME's AM/FM and DAB+ antenna and receiver range

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a band splitter do?

A band splitter takes a single antenna input and separates the incoming signal into two outputs for different frequency bands. The SPL003 splits AM/FM frequencies (AM: 530–1710kHz; FM: 87.5–108MHz) from DAB+ frequencies (174–240MHz VHF Band III) and routes each to the appropriate receiver. Both receivers operate from the one antenna without each interfering with the other.

Why would I need a band splitter instead of two antennas?

In vehicles or vessels where mounting space is limited or only one antenna connection point is practical, a band splitter allows the same antenna to serve both AM/FM and DAB+ reception. This avoids the need to install a dedicated second antenna for DAB+.

What connector types does the SPL003 use?

Connector types are not confirmed in the available supplier data. Confirm with GME the input and output connectors on the SPL003 to ensure compatibility with your specific antenna and receiver connections before purchasing.

What is the difference between the SPL003 and the AISS120 antenna splitter?

The AISS120 is a zero-loss active VHF antenna splitter for marine use — specifically splitting a VHF antenna signal between a VHF radio and an AIS receiver on the 156–163MHz marine VHF band. The SPL003 is a passive band splitter for AM/FM and DAB+ broadcast frequencies. They are different products for different applications — the SPL003 is for broadcast audio reception; the AISS120 is for marine VHF radio communication.

Does the SPL003 affect signal quality for either receiver?

Passive band splitters introduce some insertion loss — the signal level at each output is lower than the input. The degree of loss depends on the splitter design. For AM/FM and DAB+, an antenna amplifier may help compensate if signal quality is marginal. Confirm performance expectations with GME for your specific antenna and installation.
