Given the values you have posted it would make the levels almost ideal.

The splitter I have has no model number on it.

HTH

Thanks, so are you saying my US 32.5 would rise to 38.5 as you said i would get a signal loss in both directions?

I have managed to find a VM splitter(VQ1002) which said 3.5dB on each port and i have replaced the HDU200 with it and now i think my power levels are alot better with a DS range of +5 to 10.4 and US is now 37.3.

Are these levels more desirable now?

Can i lower the DS further with a Forward Path 3dB Attenuator as i have a couple here not in use?
