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 . . .

It won't hurt anything to just split the cable into 2. The loss in signal
will be negligible...

I looked around and nobody seems to make one.

Sure they do! They are called splitters or multicouplers.

I didn't see any inexpensive ones made for HF. Plenty of them at higher
frequencies or amplified units so who makes a simple unit for HF that is
a transformer or resistive coupled that has PL-259 connectors?

ICE makes some:
HF, 0.5-30MHz, 2 outputs 111-2A $26.00
they also have an amplifed modle for 112-2A $42.00

How dare you agree with me, Challenged Boy!

i can't vouch for the quality.

Stridsberg is the consumer grade gear most scanner enthusiasts use.

RF systems SP-1 looks like it but it's $99.95. I guess that's not
unreasonable but seems a little high.

I could build one for $20. Mini circuits have small transformers and you
would need to buy a metal box and three PL-259 connectors.

Yeah, I figured the Ham stuff would be more reasonably priced.

I don't know why a Google search came up empty.
