Felipe, et. al.
I would suggest "Front end
savers" They disconnect the antenna from the radio and
ground the RX jack while transmitting. Two can be operated in
parallel, one for the RX port on the run radio and one on the second
radio.
Also, some of the assessory distributors and
manufacturers make heavy duty relays that one can use to ground the 2nd
radio while running on the 1st radio and visa versa. We did this
with two radios and two amplifiers on 160 meters so we could jump to a
multiplier frequency and call without retuning the "run
radio". We put a heavy duty 50 ohm dummy load into the relay
system so the radio and amplifier not in use would be grounded into a safe
load incase someone hit the key paddle or the wrong key on the logging
computer. We used the RX antenna port for beverages to listen and
confirm the multiplier station frequency before the "instant
QSY".
