You've attached both a directional and an omni to the same antenna port?
To be clear:
Replacing an omni with a direction is completely doable, although there are some requirements to doing it correctly.
Adding a splitter will not work.

no i just attached the grid antenna to the repeater and removed the omni antenna and i can pick up the signal perfect :) so i now know that a directional antenna does work on a universal repeater ;)

But that is not what the OP has asked. He clearly stated he wanted to split one antenna connection to two antennae.
