I've used a video selector box (for 75 ohm RF, with F connectors) that
Radio Shack used to sell. It was a 4-in 2-out matrix, and allowed either
of two radios to have any of the 4 available antennas. It also allowed
two radios to share an antenna simultaneously. I doubt R/S still sells
it, but there might be something available from MCM or the like.

Can anyone point me to a design for a splitter for sharing a Beverage

Just want to allow the 80/40M stations to share antennas. Nothing fancy.
My thoughts are to just use a CATV "2-Way" splitter at the output of the
Beverage matching transformer and run separate feed-lines to each radio.
I'm pretty sure these things work down to 1 MHz but have not measured
them. I can use the pre-amp in the radio (K3) to compensate for the loss.
Thoughts?
