Mnay thanks to those who replied and offered advice.  I have ordered one of 
the Symmetricom splitters from Mike.  Lack of any technical info on the 
MiniCircuits splitter was a large factor in my decision.  Mike offers the 
Symmetricom units at a VERY reasonable price, and I feel they will perform 
quite well.

Thanks again,
David
