I think I'd be inclined to make a patch panel with inexpensive F connectors. There are push-on adapters, so simple patch cables could be made for in/out from various antennas to different receivers. Unlike a switch, you can have several antenna/receiver combos running simultaneously. I would put the matching antenna transformer behind the panel so all connections are at a nominal 50-75 ohm range. Any antenna, any radio just with a patch. It would make use of a phaser simple. Bulkhead connectors could be used so cables can be run from somewhere else, or chassis jacks where a wire connection is needed. All cheap stuff, and a flat aluminum panel is easy to find. Ground the panel for extra lightning protection. A single point ground for all incoming wires..
