I purchased this antenna and would like to hook up two or three radios to this antenna at the same time. I have an RCI-2950, a Galaxy Saturn and a Stryker SR-655. They have all be modified for 10 meter. Is this possible, if so how do I do this. With so many radios on one antenna, will I lose anything? Thank you!

Well it can be done if you can find a 10M Circulator (similar to what is sued at repeater sites for multiple radios on one antenna), but you will have two MAJOR issues - finding one for that frequency range and if you can the cost will be astronomical. May 833 has more info, but I cannot recall seeing a Circulator for 10M.

Any other way, assuming you want all to be usable at the same time is going to cost you radios, as transmitting on one will more than likely damage the others.

A circulator would not work. Even IF there was one for 10m.

What he needs is an antenna switch and just wire to the radios on the antenna ports and the antenna on the radio port.
