There's a much easier way with no relays at all. You would end up with a spdt switch to select the receive only antenna.

Inside the Eagle, you will find cable #2. This cable carries the receive signal to the Eagle receiver. All you have to do is cut this cable and bring the two connections out of the back of the Eagle. One end of the cable would go to the common of the spdt switch. The other end of the cable would to the normally closed contact of the switch. The receive antenna would go to the normally open contact of the switch.

That's all you need.  No relays at all.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking  3 SPST reed relays . One to switch the Tx antenna. One to
switch detuner for the Tx antenna. One to switch the Rx antenna. The reed
relays switch in ~1ms so the 17ms transmit antecedent is plenty. They are
rated for 10**7 cycles.
