    Most everything is pretty much standard and available. That BT47 however, is going to be a tough nut to crack. The only originals I see are in the UK and shipping alone is $40. There is probably an alternate out there but, I am going to pass on the build for now. I went ahead and used a T triple female connector and two Heathkit switchboxes loaned to me from radio chum. I needed 4 jumpers and it's not real pretty but, it works fine and I can run scan on both radios simultaneously without any apparent problems so far. Just need to resist grabbing a mic before throwing the appropriate switch. SWR didn't budge either which is a nice perk too.
