I think you are trying to fix the wrong problem, Paul. Splitting the
CI-V bus is unlikely to cause "lost bits" but data collisions are. The
problem can be caused if more than one device is active instead of
passive. For example, the logging program should not poll the bus if the
rig is in CI-V transceive (active) mode.

>>>Or the logging program should be designed to work correctly in the face
of collisions.
