This is how I have mine set up, takes a little fiddling, but its solid, just reach under panel, twist , pull off and put on my handheldt. I have considered bringing it out thru the panel, but havent do so. I have only had to use my handheld once, and that was with my cherokee 140 a while back. Charles H

I make no claims of expertise on this subject but, I came across this site and product and it would seem to overcome the problem of sending the signal from one comm unit to the other. Anyone care to comment?

This switch is for low power data, not for transmitting.
Simple antenna switches are available. Some examples:

http://www.hamstick.com/cs201.htm
Another way to go is to have a separate antenna for your backup radio. That way if you have an antenna problem you don’t lose both radios. A wingtip antenna or a homebrew wire antennas in the cowl would work fine in this backup role.
I flew my 8A for three years with a homebrew wingtip antenna, then added a belly bent whip antenna when I took the plane down for painting. The belly antenna works better, but I got along just fine with the wingtip one as well. The wing tip one is now wired to “COMM 2”.
