A antenna switch. And jumpers to both radios. Just turn the switch to the coax that goes to the radio you want to use. DO NOT key up one radio with the other one on. That can do bad things!

A 2 position switch, and 2 jumpers from the switch to the radio's.

Or....in order.....Radio's, coax jumper's, 2 position switch, coax to the antenna, antenna.

I have a meter inline after the switch on my setup, but that is purely personal choice.

There are automatic devices out there for doing just this. Their advantages is it dopesnt matter which radio you key up it connects to the antenna.

Now I use a manual one between my A-99, the 148GTL and the HTX-10 ONLY as I had antenna restrictions. Given my preferences each radio would be on a separate sapced apart antenna.
