well if i wanded to share one atena between me and my dad lick an old main frame computer

Probably not unless you want to put a lot of money into developing a solution that would cost more than another antenna.

Antenna's aren't the expensive part of ham radio unless you are talking about huge towers.

i'm having a hard time understanding the vocab. your dad lick an old computer with antenna? do you mean antenna?

[sonicj]

a duplexer or a manually operated rf switch box. both are quite common and can be had on the cheap.

Yes, if you want to share an antenna between 2 receivers that receive on the same band that the antenna is tuned to. Be aware that each receiver will only see half the signal. If either radio is a transmitter, expect the receive section on the other radio to burn out quite quickly.
