Piero,

Here's a link from the Amsat-ZL web page. These power inserters are built
into low-cost, three port, common cable-tv splitter cases. One port is for
DC in (15-18v), one for DC pass (to downconverter), and the third port is DC
blocked (rig connection).

I've built two of these, and they work well.

Good luck,
