On the most expensive unit the "Pro" model a remark seemed to indicate that it's gain was dependent on PS voltage 10V to 18V. BUT - that page is a mess of cut and paste. I don't know what you really g

If he runs the PA at full steam (which is likely to also give the best dynamic range) there is a serious LOT of room for splitters. An 8 way splitter would work adequately. That's 9 dB so there is a r

It appears they require their own power supply with the gain being controlled by the supply voltage. {^_^}

The cheapest one would probably be good enough. The next one up might be slightly better because you get a nice noisy power supply and (possibly redundant) Bias-T tap for it. The most expensive one wo

For listening get the cable out of the picture by mounting it on the antenna. At a guess that will buy you as much as 6 dB noise figure. {^_^}

Receive them on post processing. But, then you would have to figure out how to demodulate and decrypt them. If they don't all more or less start and end at the same time you may have multiple hopping

Optimal RF filter placement/location
Small quibble - an all metal adapter is OK. Avoid adapter cables, though. And a ferrite bead good for the pertinent frequencies on the antenna cable at the input of the filter won't hurt and may help

Wires are inconvenient; but, they do remove some annoying potential problems. And if you are sitting at your ham station listening you're stuck there for your tuning knob so why no wired NOISE CANCELI
