It will cost more and you won't have as much "roll your own satisfaction",
but the IC-ANT-SB from ICOM is another way to skin this cat. See this web
page.

This has been mentioned previously on the list. Check with a local avionics
shop to purchase or GOOGLE IC-ANT-SB for a catalog seller.
OC -- The best investment we will ever make is in gathering knowledge.

The least expensive and most reliable means by which you
can share the airplane's external antenna with a hand
held is to route the COMM antenna cable through the
cockpit such that a pair of connectors . . .

come together within easy reach of the pilot. Coil up
some excess length on the ANTENNA SIDE pigtail and make sure
this piece of coax has the cable male connector on it.
If the panel mounted radio becomes unavailable to you,
open this joint and bring the antenna pigtail up to the hand
held. You'll also find it useful to use TWO right angle
adapters . . .

. . . on the end of this pigtail.
The coax can now pass up the back side of your hand
held and make a 180-degree u-turn to mate with the radio's
BNC connector at the top.
