I have a VHF and a UHF radio (2 radios). I also have a dual band antenna. Is it possible for both radios to share one antenna? Naturally I can only transmit on one at a time.

You need an antenna combiner, coupler. There are some made by antenex.

Correctly known as a Diplexer. Comet model 4160; be careful to choose the right connectors when you order it. Cost varies between $40 and $60 depending who you order it from. I use two of them, one for each 7500, a radio that has UHF and VHF outputs, to a single antenna. They work very well.
