This is very close to contesting's SO2R (Single Op, two radios). The
difference is that in SO2R both radios are always active. When one
transmits, the other continues to receive. Bandpass filters are used
to keep the transmit RF from adversely affecting the 2nd radio's
receiver. If it did hurt it, then that radio would be rather useless
when the first is transmitting, right?
Switching the microphone between the two radios shouldn't be too
difficult with a simple switch, and if you really want to get fancy,
you too could become addicted to creating the ultimate SO2R box... ;-)
A web lookup on SO2R should be quite revealing. After reading the
articles, you might realize that it is not that difficult to use TWO
K2s at the same time!

Hi to all,
I would like to build another K2 this automn, I can't stand in my
shack without no kit to build. ;-)
But I would like to know if it is possible (I think to an easely
yes) to operate two K2, one at a time of course, but using the same
microphone with an a/b switch like. And when one K2 is in TX the
other is stop listenning, to prevent or to protect it, from busting
his fontend.
If someone already did this setup, it would be really appreciated
to share this project with us. Or at least somebody have a good
start for this ???
