If you're going to support the middle anyway, why not put up a dipole instead? You will have fewer RFI problems (in both TX and RX).

You're going to need a switch of some sort anyway.

If you don't want to use the K2 and the RTL-SDR at the same time, you just need a simple switch (example).

If you do, then hooking up two receivers at the same time needs a power divider (what cable TV setups would call splitter), and you'll want to switch that out of circuit for transmitting (I wouldn't expect one to provide enough port-to-port isolation to protect the RTL-SDR). The common kind of switch (or relay-operated switch) that would fit this application is called a transfer switch — it has four ports and can be used to take the divider out of circuit temporarily leaving a straight path between the K2 and the antenna.

Lightning protection is hard. First read about lightning protection for outdoor antennas. Once you understand that topic, only then think about how to protect the additional stuff. (The outdoor part must be considered disposable
in this case no matter what, I think.)

So I've been out of radio for a decade or so, but I'm thinking about heating things up again.

I have an Elecraft K2/100, and a fairly small lot to fit an antenna into. I'd like to do digital modes on 40m to start with.

I'm thinking of setting up an EFHW wire, like http://myantennas.com/wp/product/efhw-8010/, in an inverted V (6' at the ends, 30' up in the middle).

I'd also like to set up an upconverter, RTL-SDR, RPi3, and PC software to get a nice wide waterfall over HF bands - using the same antenna.

Questions:

  1. do I need to protect the upconverter/SDR/Pi from the transmitter power, switching it out with a relay or something? Or, is the "antenna protection" on e.g. a ham-it-up sufficient?

  2. I've read that I want wired ethernet, not wireless, in order to push SDR data from a RPi. In that case, is PoE viable to power both a Pi3 and the upconverter? Do people do this? with off the shelf outdoor-friendly modules, maybe?

  3. I'd like to put another RTLSDR, set up for ADS-B with a dedicated antenna and filter, coincidentally right at the midpoint/apex of that long wire. Will I regret that as soon as I key up 100W?

  4. We get very little convective weather here, but even so - it should be adequate to protect ethernet with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008060BU0, and the long wire with the ground on the transformer box?

Does the shielded mean that the surge protector is built in? Or do I also have to buy something like this?

EDIT: How does that even connect my router/pc if it's closed on one side??

You don't need to bury it, but you want to get CAT6 cable that's rated and shielded for outdoor use, something like this.

You should also get ethernet surge protectors, so that you don't fry your gear if you get hit by lightning or some critter chews your cables. You'd place one on each end of the run, like so:

[router]--~cat6~--[surge protector]--~cat6~--[surge protector]--~cat6~--[pc]

Hope this helps.
