Hi Mark,
Once I get the switches (or relays) there's no way I can TX into the SDR :) .
I've decided to buy new WIMO X-Quad antennas and a couple of 20m runs of Ultraflex 10 coax. In March or so I'll reposition the antennas a bit higher and a bit further away from the house.
Seeing as how you have so much spare cash please may I have a MEO for my next birthday? Please?

At the risk of stating something obvious--another way is to put up an extra set of antennas so you have 2 on 2M and 2 on 70cm :) Then you have dedicated antennas for your SDR receivers. I know the price goes up with preamps, coax, etc. but it's a nice solution that gives me all kinds of options for mixing/matching bands! Also, if there is no xmitter connected, you're not going to xmit into the SDR directly.
