I have decided upon the uAvionix echoUAT unit to provide ADS-B in and out for my RV-4. My aircraft has an existing GPS antenna connected to a Garmin SL-60, but I don't have a WAAS GPS source, so had planned to install the integrated (antenna + receiver) SkyFYX unit offered by uAvionix.
Now, I am second guessing myself and would like to know whether or not I could use the existing GPS antenna (or a new one in its place) with a GPS splitter to provide signal to both my SL-60 and the SkyFYX variant that requires an external antenna.
The benefit to me is that I would not need to install another antenna, and would avoid running the associated wire(s). The downside is that I would need to buy and install a splitter something like this:

Thoughts or recommendations appreciated.
Thanks,
