Well, not a simple  T connector, I was thinking on this:

But I have never tried it, and I don't want to try and burn my radios if 
somebody else have good information on this topic.

I don't know if a impedance matched splitter will work as a mixer :-S .  
If I think of it as a transformer, it could be, but, I don't think that 
thos things have a transformer because they pass DC..... to bad that I 
don't have one of these to disassemble and look (well, I do have one, 
but I'm not sure if I can put that together again :-S ).

Cool.
