I also have the splitter which worked well until a storm came through while my wife was at the marina listening to the radio.. Apparently a lightning surge came down close enough to be picked-up by the mast top antenna and it blew the stereo receiver.. The VHF was not on so there was no other damage.
It was a cheap unit that I was considering replacing anyway but now I'm also looking at antennas that go in the hull somewhere in hopes that it is less likely to capture a wandering lightning surge (Fairly common here in the southeast). This way my next receiver might not be as likely to get hit.. Here's what I'm looking at http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Trapper-Hidden-Marine-Antenna/dp/B002WQTS58 On lake Lanier we're close to the the stations we like anyway so pretty much any decent antenna should do the trick -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
