[nrv-hams] rig-antenna splitter/coupler question (Patrick Johnson)

[Russ Abbey]

I have to agree with Mike, that is a very bad idea.  Why not just get a
dual band radio Patrick?  99% will allow you to have listen to two
frequencies and will mute the second one on transmit.  Such models are the
Yaesu FT-88/8900 and the Kenwood ??71? radios.  I have given up on Icom due
to the DStar stuff.  You pay way to much for the radio to begin with and
then have to buy the Dstar module too?  NOT!  There are others out there
also, but I am unfamiliar with them.
