I have an ICOM 802 SSB and have set up my backstay on my sailboat as the antenna. My boat came with a Furuno weatherfax (208A) which I have never used. We can't find an antenna for it on the boat. Can I connect the weather fax to the backstay antenna and share it with the SSB ? If so do I need a switch to toggle to the device that is in use or can they compatibly share the one antenna.

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question....just learning...only have my Technician Ham license so far.

thanks for any help you can offer -
