Can you use the new VEX Signal Splitter with the Tether Port?

I just have a quick question about the new VEX Signal Splitter.

Do you have to use the VEX receiver or can you use the Tether Port on the transmitter just like you can with the VEX microcontroller?

Since the tether plugs into the same port on the microcontroller as the receiver does I figured that it should work the same way on the signal splitter, but I wanted to be sure.
