I'm thinking the same thing. I have a Drake tuner with an antenna switch
to select between 2 antennas, and a separate switch to select among the
Ten-Tec and Heath rigs, but it would be nice to put 2 radios on 2
antennas simultaneously with the tuner in either leg. The easiest way to
do this is to buld a patch panel with BNC chassis mount connectors and
short BNC jumpers. You would astill need a relay or switch to disconnect
the antennas and ground everything when not in use.
BTW, I replace the Heath phono plugs with BNC's many years ago. More
reliable, and no drilling required.
