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.

I just use a homebrew panel with double male bnc fittings, and install bnc
female adapters on each end of my coaxal cables.
I have often wondered why the ham rig manufactures use pl 259 fittings
rather than bnc's.

Hi,
Anybody out there using an antenna switch to match two antennas to two
rigs?
Or using two switches to match two antennas to two rigs?
