[TenTec] Antenna Switch

[Bwana Bob]

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.
