I've seen some people mention here USB Y-Splitters (something like this?) If I plugged the power side into say a 2.1amp phone charger, and the data side into a USB hub, would that work to supply the power needed and allow for running at the 350MHz range? Or do I need to make other modifications to allow the Y-Splitter to work?

If the powered hub is not restricted per port, yes that would.

That's why a lot of people including me are using the superbpag 5V/14W hub Smiley

So if I got the superbpag hub, would I need a splitter or will that hub provide enough power all on its own?
