Is there anyone who makes this pre-made? Is it possible? I drive a Pete 379 and already have the antennas and mounts. I'm wanting to run a dual antenna setup with the Sweet 16 . Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated thanks in advance.

RG-213 coax is 50 Ohm. For Dual Antennas you need 75 Ohm coax. If you really need that size coax get to equal lengths of 75 Ohm coax into a Tee connector. Then use a single 50 ohm coax to radio.

I was aware of the 75 ohm I'm just looking for a place that I can get it Pre-made because I don't trust the T style Connector with that amount of power. but I have seen the antenna switch boxes that are rated at 4000 Watts and can connect two antennas and run them both at the same time or separate of each other. any thoughts on this method?

That may work. If it were me I would purchase a good Ham model switch because of the power.
