Bob has a cartoon assembly guide to rolling your own... very simple all in a small project box.

I am not aware of any suitable switch. Icom used to offer, (and King
before them) a small box that made the switch when antenna cable for
handheld was plugged in. Not elegant, but mostly worked.
If you terminate the cable in location easily reached, it may be better
to simply disconnect cable from one radio and connect it to the other.
