Bob, thanks very much for the suggestions.

Five of the seven splitters in your list appear to offer a total of two 
output ports. What I'm looking for is one that will accommodate 
(specifically) three or four ports.

Of the remaining two on the list, this one:

has five outputs and costs $50. Probably usable, though I was wondering 
if going with additional output ports could increase possible loss? And 
also, the price isn't a show-stopper but is a little high for what I was 
hoping for.

The other one:

isn't entirely clear to me. The text says it's a three-port, but I count 
four visible connectors that look like output ports, and two more that 
might be hiding under caps. This one goes for $19.90.

Given all of that, do either of these two seem like the optimal way to 
go if I want to plug in three or four GPSDO's?

Thanks again,

Frank
