Feeding 2 transverters XV144

luc Favre-2
Hi,

I want to  realize a 144 contest setup with 2 PA, 2 antennas and 2
transverters tuned on the same frequency with therefore a unique K3
switched back and forth only during receive.

To do so, I want to feed two XV144 transverters in parallel at 28 MHz
from the KXV3 TX path interface (dual port interface) (For receiving, I
switch back and forth between the two transverters RX path). In the TX
path, I intend to use a BNC-Tee with the common port attached to the 28
MHz KVV3 port and the each transverter connected to the other Tee-Ports.

Is this OK or do I need a Wilkinson divider to feed each transverter
with the assumed 50 ohm resistance ? I didn't find any impedance figure
to be seen from the KXV3 nor from the XV144.
Tu for helping me with advice.
