I am just trying to decide if I need two antennas or one for 2-meter HT use vs MURS vs moving one antenna between radios.

If you're running 2 watts on a MURS radio the difference will be negligible. You can crunch SWR and dB numbers all day but the difference you'll notice isn't worth the trouble..

I see. Thanks. If I get, say, a Smiley antenna, I can pick it tuned to 150 Mhz and maybe split the difference.

If you have two radios, you're likely just as well off putting an antenna on each so you have 100% reception. (while either has no antenna, you won't hear anyone calling you on that radio)
