Can anyone recommend an antenna switch that allows me to hook up 2 SW
receivers to 1 antenna? Maybe a switch is not what I mean, as I'd like to
be able to receive on both receivers at the same time . . .

Stridsberg is the consumer grade gear most scanner enthusiasts use.

That's an active splitter for $185. Probably a good unit. I think DxAce
uses one.


Yep, Stridsberg is the one.

- If you are going to use a splitter, you might as well go active.
- In either case (active or passive), you are going to get a bit
- more noise, but the active design should have better isolation.

For a "Combo" Antenna Splitter and {Active} Pre-Amplifier
when you want to use One Antenna with Two Receivers :
Then consider a Shortwave Receiver Antenna Tuner /
Pre-Amplifier that has a built-in Antenna Switch for
use with Two Radios and Two Antennas. The MFJ-959
Pre-Amplifier and Antenna Tuner comes to mind.
