Sure, you can do it but it won't be cheap - you will need two
"transfer relays." Some examples can be found here:
http://www.surplussales.com/Relays/rfcoaxialrelays/rfcoax_n.htmlOne transfer relay would be connected to the two antenna ports
on the Flex and the antennas would be connected to the other
transfer relay. The amplifier would be connected in one path
between the relays and the other path would be connected by a
jumper.
Activating both relays at the same time would move the amp from
one antenna path to the other.
