Signal loss

I have my Dosey meter inline and also I use a antenna splitter so I can run two radios
at a time.
My question is does having a meter and/or splitters inline lower performance of a signal?
Thanks
GOD BLESS
 

First, I'm not sure what you are calling an "antenna splitter".
If it's a common coaxial antenna switch, then the answer to your question is, not enough to be noticeable to you, your meters, or whoever is listening on the other end. And naturally there's a couple of "If's" in that. Mainly, IF the meter and switch is of average quality it's just not a biggy. If there's a problem with whatever you put in line, then there can be some signal loss depending on how bad that 'problem' is. Normally, there's not enough loss to make any difference.
