the owners manual is he

On page 37, If I read it correctly, it says that the dedicated DSC receiver
and seperate DSC antenna is for scanning DSC distress/safety channels only
for distress, urgency and safety DSC messages. All other DSC functions are
available through the main antenna.

Don't mess around with switches. To much risc. Check if it can be
confugured for a lower rate DSC (class D) where send/receive takes place
on the same (primary) antenna.

If one didn't care about receiving DSC during transmit, wouldn't it be
possible to use an antenna relay, or a manual coaxial switch? I have
never
seen the latter, but I am sure they must exist. There is little enough
room
for hf antennas on a sailboat, but I really like your hand rail solution
for
GRP boats.
